Congratulations to ABS PhD student Eleanor Bilogrevic – winner of the 2024 Philip Laffer Royal Adelaide Wine Show Bursary! 👏🏆 Eleanor is a passionate wine scientist and research student, with a keen interest in the No-and-Low Alcohol wine category.

A fantastic achievement – well done, Eleanor!

Effective communication can be the key to positive behavioural change! New research from the University of Adelaide highlights the importance of authentic and balanced messaging. Dr David JAUD, from the Adelaide Business School, explains that acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of teen experiences with alcohol leads to more genuine conversations and better outcomes. By fostering open, honest dialogues within families and communities, we can help adolescents make informed decisions in an environment of trust and understanding.
