OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Though the stars may change, the pursuit of truth endures.
Our principle is inspired by two academic traditions: the University of Sydney’s Sidere mens eadem mutato, and the Australian National University’s Naturam primum cognoscere rerum. We restate them for ORBIT Lab: methods and circumstances change; integrity, purpose and the pursuit of truth endure.
