This year the inhabitants of FABI stepped through the magnifying glass to find themselves in the weird and wonderful Wonderland at our annual gathering of the Society for the Presentation Of Outrageous Findings, or as most know it, SPOOF! With the first in-person SPOOF since the start of the pandemic, anticipation was building from early on and the Social Club did not hold back. It was a wonder-filled evening that became curiouser and curiouser as the clock ticked on…

The CFBE team took to the stage and won the Best Oral Presentation, and the laughter was non-stop during the Best Multimedia Presentation by MPPI. Keeping to the trend of scientific proceedings we had to award a Best Abstract which went to Carla Buitendag from MPPI. Like most crazy things in the Underworld, the Best Dressed Male was actually Queen Hannes Strydom and the Best Dressed Female was the current life stage of Absolem the caterpillar brought to life by Leandri Klynsmith.
