The Executive Dean of the Faculty of Sciences has had a ponytail almost all of the time since his undergraduate days. He has now agreed to have it cut off to raise funds for the Brain Foundation (SA), supporting research into brain disorders, diseases and injury. “I always knew it [the ponytail] would go one day – this seems like a good excuse to do it,” Professor Hill said. You can help the University of Adelaide raise funds for this worthy cause by pledging a donation. There will be prizes for the Largest Individual Donation and Largest Group Donation. The offi cial haircut will take place on 16 March.
