Message from the DirectorThis month, we're thrilled to announce a number of new additions to the community. Leading the Smart Sustainable Building Network research clusters, we welcome and congratulate the ten co-chairs leading work in the respective fields. For the Early Career Research Ambassador scheme, we welcome two new Ambassadors, including from the Business School and, excitingly, our first Ambassador from Architecture, Design & Planning. Welcome to the Sydney Nano community. In other news, our 2020 Annual Report is out, summarising the highlights of last year. Recently, we were pleased to co-host the BioNano International Workshop with IIT, and have Dr Kaur present to us in our Meet the Author series. We have some exciting events in the pipeline to conclude 2021, and are looking forward to sharing with our community soon.
