Hi Everyone
This is my first post to the blog and relates to a conference that I am organising at the University of Sydney. To my knowledge there hasn't been a conference on free will in Australia for a while and it would be great if we could encourage some gardeners to come along. November is a good time of year to visit Sydney!
Details are below and I will the rest of the information when things we have more details.
