Our lab likes science and we like art too. This page has examples of some of the great work done by members of the lab.
Artwork by Erin Walsh done while an undergrad in our lab. Erin is now a professional scientific illustrator who still does a lot of great stuff for us.

The Presidential Crown of The Australian Society of Herpetologists. This beautiful (and functional) sculpture was created by Dr. Steven Holland while on an ANU Artist in Residence Fellowship in our lab. Check out the story in the ANU reporter and the video too.
And check out individual web sites of some of our current and former lab members for a lot more great science art.
