We are pleased to announce the award of two grants in the second round of the Research Fund.

Koala microbiomes by Dr Michaela Blyton of the University of Queensland. We are delighted that the Australian Koala Foundation has agreed to sponsor this award. This has enabled the Society to make a second grant.
