University is about more than the degree you leave with. 

It’s about the conversations that challenge you. 
The people who broaden your perspective. 
And the courage to sit in uncomfortable truths, keep learning and keep showing up. 

For Victoria and Ma’Ayan, reconciliation in action looks like learning together, listening deeply and creating change through connection. 

Because when you choose a university, you’re choosing the kind of community you want to be part of. 

This is what reconciliation looks like in action. 💜

We caught up with Professor Laura to chat about why research and teaching go hand in hand.

There's so much that we can learn from our students when we teach about how to express concepts in different ways but also gaining those new untouched perspectives that can help inform our research as well.

It's a reminder that learning is never one-way. 💡

The power of AI has been harnessed to rapidly clear a photography bottleneck and bring greater coordination and computing power to efforts to save Australian animals from extinction. 

Developed by researchers at The University of Queensland, the Wildlife Observatory of Australia (WildObs) can quickly analyse millions of images taken by hidden wildlife cameras, meaning faster, more accurate data to guide conservation work. 

Associate Professor Matthew Luskin from UQ’s School of the Environment said the new cloud-based, easy to use, artificial intelligence-powered image platform was revolutionary.

“Affordable cameras can discreetly capture wildlife while strapped to trees and left for months so there are now thousands of projects across Australia collecting millions of images and videos,” Dr Luskin said.

Hidden beneath the Great Court is a network of tunnels with a history stretching back to World War II. Closed off for decades and surrounded by speculation, they're one of UQ's most enduring mysteries. So what's fact, and what's fiction?
