SUMMARY:Annabel Ellis ‘Bandicoots and the great truffle heist’
DESCRIPTION:Bandicoots usually forage for grubs\, roots or fungi. However\, the little diggers have developed a taste for expensive French black truffles\, costing farmers up to $20k a year. Annabel\, a PhD student at the University of Sydney\, uses marsupial friendly strategies to discourage their gourmet tastes. \nBiography\nAnnabel is a PhD student at the University of Sydney. She is researching non-injurious ways of deterring bandicoots from digging farmed truffles\, her research is based at a truffle farm near Braidwood. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFM \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/DDEFM \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.
