MIWATCH recently welcomed a team of research assistants who are already working across MIWATCH projects ranging from data analytics, lab work to field sampling.
It has been a period of change at MIWATCH with familiar faces coming to the end of their learning journeys and time for projects to start moving from characterisation to extraction, with the aim to work more closely too with other teams across SMI and UQ.
