Description

This JCU-Aboriginal Reconciliation Week is organized by JCU every year to observe and promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. Tropical Indigenous Ethnobotany Centre, the Australian Tropical Herbarium, the CSIRO, and the TNQ Drought Hub have invited me to take on how reconciliation can be achieved through research. I shared the success stories about our trust, respect, and the NHMRC biodiscovery project to the gathering of more than 80-100 people at the Boathouse, JCU Nguma Bada (Smithfield).
