Griffith Pioneer Park Museum has landed a whopper of a new exhibition featuring Murray Cod, one of the largest freshwater fish in the world and an apex predator in the waterways where they live. "Gugabul" is an impressive representation of this species and was created by the Hands On Weavers with artists Peter Ingram and Shelby-Rae Lyons-Kschenka. The name Gugabul comes from the Wiradjuri word for this fish, which is a totem for some of their nation and a sentinel for healthy rivers. The Dreamtime-sized sculpture is accompanied by a colourful animation produced by Aunty Lorraine Tye that shares a legend from along the rivers.

To address that gap, a team led by Brown University researchers conducted the largest head-to-head comparison study of the two mRNA vaccines approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration — the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines.
