💥 So proud of this absolute legend for submitting her PhD thesis! Despite having a rough start to her PhD (travel restrictions due to COVID) Zahra @TimetogoZ, has worked tirelessly and I don't think I know of a researcher as dedicated as her...
You are so amazing Z! 🎉🩷

Had the absolute best couple of days in Tassie for the annual Australian Abalone Growers Association Meeting! Being an industry PhD student definitely has its perks! Who can complain when you are served a freshly shucked oyster from the sea!? - not me! 🦪🌊
