Fantastic news for physics outreach. The AIP has secured a #NationalScienceWeek grant to digitally expand the Marie Curie Lecture Tour. Astrophysicist Karelle Siellez will tour 🇦🇺, with livestreams enabling regional students to connect with leading physicists: www.scienceweek.net.au/national-gra...
If you missed our annual Conservation #Science Symposium during #NationalScienceWeek, watch the recording at tasland.org.au/blog/ccs2025.... Over 160 ppl joined us to hear from 19 speakers, as they shared the latest science happening on TLC reserves & with our partners.
And it’s a hit! My #SnakeWheelOfFortune poster game has been played by dozens (possibly 100s) of kids & adults across Qld for #NationalScienceWeek & beyond, & they’ve all left with a far greater appreciation & respect for snakes. Education shapes perceptions, & perceptions shape behaviour 🤓🐍💚!
#NationalScienceWeek was a super success! Such a privilege to be able to engage w/ communities in rural/remote/regional Queensland as Inspiring Australia’s ambassador this year. These folks often miss out on #STEMed, but not this year! Thanks to Dr. Anita Milroy for her connections and vision.

I'm still buzzing after an amazing day at the Sydney Science Trail, Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan! #NationalScienceWeek
I had a great time talking to the community about how pollination ecologists study and conserve plants and their pollinators

Appreciate the reply fr @wamuseum.bsky.social
But it totally ignores my #1 complaint tt continuing to partner w Woodside in times of escalating fossil-fuelled destruction of land & marine ecosystems & to host Woodside Open Day in #NationalScienceWeek is reputation-laundering 4 climate criminals 1/

While I did vote for the Ghost Bat for #NationalScienceWeek most under-rated animal, I'm pleased to see the Rakali come away with the win. These cuties are awesome, I always stop an appreciate them whenever I see one.
Ghost-bat afficionados can be consoled - the lovely bat was the Australian […]
