Farnaz Fouladi, 2017 North Dakota State University Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition finalist, talks about her research on the role of gut bacteria in sustained weight loss after gastric bypass surgery. Farnaz is a graduate student in Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The propaganda campaigns of violent extremists such as ISIS and al-Qaeda, the messaging and cyberwar efforts of emerging powers in the East, and the rise of so-called “fake news” have placed the issue of understanding and effectively competing in 21st century information warfare at the heart of public, academic and strategic-policy debate.

Japan Update 2017: Second panel session on Japan in a new global system with Professor Fumiaki Kubo, University of Tokyo; Dr Nobuhiro Aizawa, Kyushu University; and Dr Amy King, ANU. The session is chaired by Professor Peter Drysdale, ANU. The Update is the flagship conference of the Australia-Japan Research Centre (AJRC) in Crawford School of Public Policy, and the Japan Institute at the Australian National University. Bringing together experts from Australia, Japan and around the region the Update provides a comprehensive overview of Japan’s current economic and political landscape, and gives an ‘update’ on the country’s recent developments and future directions. The 2017 Update was held on September 6 at the ANU.

Scientists from The Australian National University (ANU) and around the world have detected for the first time ripples in space and time, known as gravitational waves, from the collision of two very dense stars, called neutron stars.

The international team detected the gravitational waves from the neutron star collision on 17 August this year, alerting astronomers around the world to the likely existence of signals such as light, gamma rays and radio waves from the same event.

The latest breakthrough discovery promises to revolutionise humanity’s understanding of the Universe, opening up a scientific field where gravitational wave scientists and astronomers work together.

ANU is playing a leading role in Australia’s involvement with the gravitational wave discovery though the partnership in the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which is based in the United States.

The Union Court of the future will be the living heart of the ANU campus. Where our community comes together to connect, to engage and share ideas. A vibrant space that becomes an incubator for innovation, learning and research and offers the very best in entertainment, arts and culture. An inviting environment to live, work, study and play where there’s always something on.

New research from The Australian National University has found genetic evidence that critically endangered swift parrots, which breed all over Tasmania and on predator-free islands, form a single nomadic population at high risk of extinction.
