From Parkes Rotary Club
Colin Lamrock introduced Lachlan Campbell speaking on NYSF"The National Youth Science Forum 'NYSF' is an annual program that selects students all across Australia and other parts of the World. Selected students go to a university in Australia and spend twelve days attending many science-related activities. These activities include lab visits, formal dinners and presentations from scientists who are leading researchers in this field. Rotary is a founding partner of the NYSF and an active part of each individual session.
The NYSF is a great opportunity for students and it is only from organisations like Rotary, that they are able to have this opportunity." 'The pain of discipline, is not as painful, as the pain of regret...'
