AAIR 2008 Annual Forum
19 - 21 November
Hyatt Hotel Canberra

Issue #6, May 2008

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind"... Shakespeare, As You Like It

Winter is fast approaching; semester is in full swing. So what interesting facts and figures can I tempt you with this issue to warm the cockles of your hearts?
We'll have a look at how the ANU went against its targets in 2007; we answer the question, "How did the 'Writing an Academic Paper' seminar go?"; we meet two new faces in Statistical Services; and what's that about a national conference ANU will be hosting in November?

And what of our wintry prospects? The autumn leaves outside the Law Building are definitely hinting at a change of season.
