In 2001, the first Mount Stromlo Student Seminars were convened. At the time, they were called the Christmas Student Seminars. The event was created as a space for graduate students to unwind and share their research. This tradition has been passed down to the incoming PhD student cohort for the past 23 years. This year was especially significant as it marked the 100th anniversary of Mount Stromlo Observatory; it was also the most well-attended seminar to date.
