ANU ducklings in a rainy day last week. They all ran towards the camera - honestly kind of terrifying! Look at those faces - they mean business. 👀

Autumn is just starting in Japan.

Also excited our new paper is out in APL-shear lowers Ge phase transformation thresholds with a reversible path!

They served green oranges at morning tea! They were a bit like a mandarin.

Very much enjoying being at a high pressure conference in beautiful Matsuyama, Japan this week. The region is known for its oranges- hence the logo of the meeting which is an orange / high pressure cell. 10/10 🍊

Happy Wattle Day from ANU.
