CQU staff are supporting Rockhampton's school science teachers and senior secondary students via a 'Cutting Edge Lecture Series'.

The series is conducted by CSIRO Education in collaboration with the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts.

Dr McGrath's talk on Bacteria and your health: Friend or foe? will describe research at the CCMI involving the biology of middle ear infections and upper respiratory tract infections.

The event will also feature presentations by Maree Bowen from the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (Barcoding sheep: a new era of precision management) and from Kishore Prayaga from CSIRO Livestock Industries (Deciphering Horns Inheritance in Beef Cattle).
