Scientists react to 80 years of history at ANU
We look back on our 80-year history of STEM research at ANU as scientists react to archival footage.
Since our foundation in 1946, ANU has been a place to dream big and consider what our future will be.
Fundamental to this, has been building on previous knowledge to push the boundaries of scientific and medical research.
Our anniversary is an important time to not only reflect on our past successes, but to also celebrate our community and look towards the future.
To do this, we need to reconcile with our past and embrace change to build a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.
From bell bottoms to laboratory techniques that would make a modern WHS representative gasp, much has changed in 80 years. But our commitment to transforming the world through scientific and medical research remains the same.
