Dr Grant Hamilton and Dr Peter Baxter recently represented Hamilton Ecology Lab at the 2015 Plant Bio-Security Cooperative Research Centre Science Exchange. The exchange was a success with informative project updates provided for current projects PBCRC 2100 and PBCRC2135. This year the annual event was held on Queensland’s iconic Sunshine Coast and provided an excellent opportunity for scientists to network and find about other projects, in many cases fostering and enhancing productive collaborations. Well done to organisers and all who attended.
