 What our students say

“I really feel avocado research gives me the best of both worlds – the lifestyle of being involved with agricultural production in Queensland as well as the science. I love talking to growers and being in the field as much as I love being in the laboratory.”

Dr Louisa Parkinson, Research Officer at QAAFI’s Centre for Horticultural Science
