In our third episode of The Ag, presented by our hosts Ava Stone and Ruby Bartzis, our field reporters cover the top stories in the La Trobe University community and beyond. 

This week, Kim Vy Ngo went to Nangak Tamboree Wildlife Sanctuary to get up close to our new feathered friends, three new emus. We also talked to the sanctuary’s operations manager, Olivia Swain, live in the studio.

Ruby Bartzis spoke to La Trobe’s food bank initiative, learned how it operates and its impacts on students. 

Ari Stamatakos looked into the new research study, led by LTU sports scientist Jacob Jennings, that harnesses the power of artificial neural networks to accurately predict AFL draft picks.
