Researcher Story – Needle Free Diabetes Test

Discover how University of Newcastle researchers are changing the way we treat diabetes.

Using hemp to remove toxic chemicals from soil

Dr Brett Turner knows that PFAS chemical contamination is a dangerous problem, and a global one. That’s why Brett and his team are developing a groundbreaking new way to remove these contaminants from soil using all-natural hemp proteins. Over 40,000 sites worldwide have been polluted by PFAS. Brett is excited by the initial results of their work in Williamtown, where they were able to remove 99% of the contamination in the samples they tested.
