<div class="para">Hi, I’m Laura Ruykys. I’ve been a member of BSSA since 2005, when I was undertaking my Honours at the University of Adelaide. I was recruited by a very enthusiastic Membership Officer and have been a part of the Society since then. I joined the BSSA committee in 2006 as Newsletter Editor, then moved on to Publicity Officer, and now President. I am undertaking a PhD studying the ecology of the black-footed rock-wallaby in the APY Lands of SA. 
<br><br>
BSSA is a fantastic way for people interested in biology to be involved in networking and volunteering, which are both critical for a successful career in the environmental field. The benefit also flows to researchers, who often have difficulty in undertaking fieldwork without assistance from volunteers. 
<br><br>
BSSA has been operating for over 10 years and has links across all 3 SA universities and both government and non-government organisations. I encourage all those interested in biology and conservation to join BSSA and volunteer when possible. Please explore the website and get involved! 
<br><br>
Regards, Laura
