Life of a CBRn

From conception to legacy

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s impact from conception to legacy

Life of a CBRn is an experiential timeline of a Canberran’s life and how ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø research has interacted with or impacted them at different stages across their life.

From transforming our waterways into vibrant, safe havens to designing engaging ways to teach children vital STEM skills and working to reintroduce a native frog species to the region, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø research makes an indelible impact on our community and region.

We invite our community to explore our research in their story at the pop-up display or through the website.
