Last Friday we farewelled a legend of the CQUniversity agriculture research team - Associate Professor Surya Bhattarai.

“I came to CQU as a PhD student 23 years ago and sometimes I still feel like a student - my appetite to learn keeps me moving and getting things done,” Surya said.

He paid tribute to his mentors and colleagues and said he felt so lucky to have been able to indulge his research curiosities over the years.

“They trusted me and let me go very wild in some senses, so I have been like a spoiled kid because no one stopped me from doing the research that I wanted to do,” he said.

“I don’t think I’ll get that anywhere else.

“My physical body will move away but it will take a while for my heart and mind to follow.”

We’ll miss you Surya! All the best with your next adventure.
