Moscovici Explores Science of Wine in Australia

During his time at USQ, Moscovici met with many faculty members at the university to find ways to incorporate sustainability into their teachings. He also developed and recorded two lectures which the university will be able to use in their online courses indefinitely. Moscovici helped expand curriculums for USQ's WIne Science major, Master of Sustainability in Science and specializations in Sustainable Development.
