Mission to launch The Invisible War: Accomplished!

The Royal Society of Victoria hosted our action-packed launch of The Invisible War – featuring:

• former Victorian premier Ted Bailieu (chair of the ANZAC centenary committee);
• ABC Science Show host Robyn Williams as our panel host;and
• our collective microbiomes (which we fed with Remedy Kombucha, and delicious platters of food made by our friends at Friends of the Earth Food Co-op).

The launch was timed to coincide at the intersections of National Science Week, National Book Week and the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Pozières (Western Front, France, 23 July – 3 Sept 1916), when The Invisible War is set.

Thank you to everyone who attended – and especially to our friends and RSV staff who helped us run and document the occasion: Em, Sim & Anna, Emily, Poppin, Jill, Sasha, Kieran, Linda, Theresa, Genevieve, Christina, Malourie, Jared and Michael.

To our collaborators Ailsa, Jeremy, Jaye and Ben – love your work.
