PMRG recently held its first talk outside of The University of Western Australia for many years, with an engaging talk at Murdoch University; another talk there is planned for later in the year. While affiliated with UWA, our reach is far greater. And PMRG is also well on the way to relaunching into the world of social media with a new Bluesky account. We’ll supply details soon!
