This research laboratory is unique.
There's really no other laboratory like it in the world.
it is designed specifically for sea jelly research
but it can accommodate a range of other research
and we have lots of students working in the laboratory.
So this includes PhD students and Honours students
but we also have some undergraduate students coming
and doing some industry placements within the Sea World Sea Jellies Exhibit
and also doing other project work within the laboratory.
So one of the great things about our partnership with Sea World
is that our undergraduate students and indeed our researchers
now have access to the Sea World vessels,
and so for some of our courses we're actually taking students out into the field to observe
for example, whales and dolphins from Sea World's research vessels.
It's a fantastic opportunity.  They're amazing vessels to work from.
This is a completely new way of us doing science.
So we're actually that the mammals on display at Sea World now.
So we're behind the glass and the public can actually watch us as we do our daily activities.
So there's huge opportunities for science communication;
to develop your science communication skills
and to engage with the public and to show them
why we're doing science why it's important
and how we go about it.
Even though we've been working here
for quite a while now
as the exhibits being being constructed
we still find ourselves just staring at the tanks completely mesmerized by the jellies.
It's really spectacular!
