Some comments from Youth ANZAAS 2005:

“One of the best things was meeting other excellent science students from around Australia to discuss ideas and theories and science in general.”

“The "Staffies" were really cool".

“Very well organised. We cannot believe that a bunch of high schools students would be allowed into the Police Crime Scene Forensic Lab or the AJC Forensic Lab. We even got to work in the labs! Fantastic!!”
