On 16 and 17 March, the CRC's Climate Change Project Leader, Dr Jo Luck represented the CRC at the annual Federation of Scientific Technological Societies (FASTS) ‘Science meets Parliament 2009' (SmP) event at Parliament House in Canberra.

SmP brings up to 200 scientists from all over the country for face-to-face meetings and forums with Parliamentarians. This opportunity allows scientists to witness national decision making, and to inform this process on important scientific issues.
