Bio21 Institute morning teas
Bio21 morning teas are social events for all members of the Bio21 Institute to encourage a sense of community and an opportunity to fundraise for a particular cause. The Director, Michael Parker, presents notices and there is also the opportunity to introduce new research groups to the rest of the Institute.
