Advancing the study of Earth Sciences -
Bicentennial Golda 88 Award

Tales from the field is a FREE wine and cheese event for geoscience undergraduates and postgraduates held in the First Year Lab within the Geology Building.

Every geologist has an interesting story, whether it be funny, thrilling or just amusing. Therefore come down and mingle with the faculty, have a drink and listen to some of our best storytellers (ft: Marco Fiorentini) which include lecturers, post-grads and other guests! We'll also have an open mic section where attendees are free to stand on stage and share their favourite geology-related story as well.

Free Wine and Cheese will be provided during this event. This is an 18+ event and no BYO alcohol.

Location: First Year Lab, Geology Building
Date and Time: Friday, 20th of September, 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm
