✨ USYD SOL held an Abstract Writing Workshop last Friday and it was a fantastic success! 📚 The seminar helped us hone our skills in writing strong conference abstracts for the upcoming Koala Conference 2024. 🐨 A big thank you to Professor Martijn de Sterke for sharing his invaluable insights. We’re excited to put these new skills to use at the conference and beyond!
