Today, the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast Team had the incredible opportunity to connect with the brilliant minds at the Tiny Bright Things team, led by Prof. Raymond Dagastine.

Joined by our own Dr. Edwin Lampugnani and A/Prof. Ed Newbigin, the discussions revolved around harnessing innovative technology to enhance our pollen-counting methods. The focal point was learning more about the Tiny Bright Things Halo Element, a cutting-edge tool that enables imaging and measurement down to the scale of viruses, drug particles and nanotubes. At lightning speed. Without altering the sample in any way.

As we explored the potential synergies, it became evident that the Halo Element could pave the way for heightened accuracy and speed in our pollen-counting endeavors. This collaboration holds immense promise in advancing our understanding of pollen dynamics and its impact on health and the environment.

Stay tuned as we embark on this exciting journey of exploration and innovation, driven by our collective passion for improving lives through science and technology. Together, we're shaping the future of pollen research and its implications for a healthier tomorrow.
