Our new event series: ASI Fireside Chats
Today we launch our new ongoing event series, perfectly tailored toward the general community, with no scientific background.
It's a free Q&A session tailored toward the non-scientific public who simply want reliable, accurate information. This is a great way for the public to cut through the chatter, ask their burning question, and receive a scientific, evidence-based answer in plain language.
Our first session is "Can we become immune to COVID-19?"
On Tuesday 19th May, we will be ...

Tea or coffee?
Coffee! Black for breakfast and a flat white mid-morning and all is right with the world.
What is your favourite dessert?
Anything with chocolate, one of the essential food groups that deserves its own chapter in NHMRC’s Australian Dietary Guidelines.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Scientist, actually. My best friend in primary school wanted to be a doctor (she is), I wanted to be a scientist and together we were going to cure ...

How many coffees / teas do you drink per day?
I drink one store-bought coffee a day – I don’t really like hot drinks, but that preference became such a social handicap when I moved back to NZ that I had to start.
Which immune cell is your favourite?
The T cell, of course - many will be aware of my opinion that all T cells can do all things in the immune response depending on where it is and who is ...
