In the Winter Issue of UNSW Magazine, we meet our three new Deans and hear about the creative and innovative thinking that is their driving force.

We also hear from our inaugural Judith Neilson Chair in Architecture, David Sanderson, who explains how he is teaching student architects to build resilience instead of skylines, and UNSW Law’s Madeline Gleeson, whose new book reveals the reality of life for refugees on Manus Island and Nauru.

Also in this issue: we meet the student aerospace entrepreneur sending Australia’s first payload of scientific experiments to the International Space Station; we reveal the common fabric dye that could increase gas yields and lower greenhouse gas emissions; and we are treated to the photography of Nick Cubbin, who captures the often-overlooked beauty of waterbird feathers for a project that aims to map the movements of Australia’s wetland birds.
