Join Dr Kylie Agnew-Francis and Jessica Hintsche as they tell us all about our often overlooked native neighbours, mushrooms and the native barramundi!

Uncovering the Molecular Mysteries of Australia’s Native Mushrooms

Kylie Agnew-Francis (The University of Queensland)

Australia is home to thousands of mushrooms in all colours, shapes, and sizes. Many are found nowhere else. Remarkably, we know almost nothing about them. This talk will explore the amazing biodiversity of Australian mushrooms, and how they could provide new treatments for deadly diseases.

The native Barramundi: your weird and whacky neighbour

Jessica Hintzsche (University of Queensland)

From avid anglers to fish and chips fans, many have encountered the Australian barramundi. Newcomers and seasoned ichthyologists alike will find this fish full of surprises and wonders. From the wilds to aquaculture, and from cells to ecosystems, there is so much we are still learning about these incredible animals
