I recently encouraged school students to design an element ‘tile’ in our new Elements in the 21st Century competition. Here are the amazing winning entries in the Secondary student category: #ANSTOeducation #Elements #Chemistry #ScienceEducation

The creativity of children never fails to impress! Here are the winning element artworks from primary students in a competition I created recently. Results galleries can be viewed here: Elements in the 21st Century Competition Summary and Results | ANSTO #Elements #Chemistry

I’m excited to see some fabulous entries for our new #elements #competition coming in!! Australian school students of all ages are invited to design their own #PeriodicTable artwork!! Competition runs until 3 May. To find out more: ansto.gov.au/elements-21st-… #ScienceEducation

I’m excited to be running Think Science! again in 2024!! It’s a free competition and fun way for Australian students in Years 3 to 10 to showcase their science inquiry skills: facebook.com/DiscoverANSTO/…

Thanks for all the great discussion on how we can energise the Australian nuclear workforce and how we can communicate in a more inclusive manner. @AustNuclear Here are Hazliza and Jaz with WiN Australia supporter The Hon David Gillespie #Womeninnuclear #australiannuclear

We enjoyed visiting a local #primary school yesterday - teaching #chemistry to 120 excited Year 5s! Students explored elements and made models of molecules found in household substances - culminating with each class working together to create polyethylene/cling wrap!

Bucky’s all painted now! #BigBuckyballBuild #BraggYourPattern #IUCr2023

Excitement builds for the @IUCr2023 conference and the construction of the biggest crystal structure model

Happy National Science Week All #ScienceWeek - Our Free Crystal-A-Con event at South Wharf in Melbourne has lots of spaces still on the 26th August - come see if you can help us break a world record? scienceweek.net.au/event/crystal-…

@SBattenResearch Wonderful!!

Just submitted the second edition of the #elementsets booklet to the printers. Pretty happy with how it's come out, though I'm quietly nervous about there being no corrupted figs this time. #ozchem

@Helen_E_MC Congratulations Helen! Very well deserved!!!

Today is the final opportunity to register for the highly anticipated STANSW Conference: Science Mastery! Ensure you don't miss out on this valuable event by securing your registration before the day concludes. Register at:stansw.asn.au/Web/Web/Profes…

We really enjoyed having 80 #primary students in Years 3-4 tour #ANSTO today - overflowing with enthusiasm and amazing questions!! We finished the day with fun #light experiments.

I’m looking forward to presenting at the Science Teachers Association of NSW conference on 19th June!

Excited to support experiments that took place in #space 🚀 and on Earth 🌏 here at #ANSTO. The research published in Nature Microgravity provides an understanding of a basic physical property of charged particles in a microgravity environment. @JAXA_en ansto.gov.au/news/new-study…

Book now for our free interactive Crystal-a-con at #IUCr2023 for school students (esp. grades 5-8). It's all about crystals! Seven great activities and passport stamps to collect! One time only event. Bookings for Fri 25 Aug & Sat 26 Aug now open at braggyourpattern.com/crystal-a-con/

It was fantastic to connect with teachers across Australia today in an Information Session for our new ‘Think Science!’ competition - encouraging students in Y3-10 to develop science inquiry skills in a fun and creative way! All Aussie schools can enter: ansto.gov.au/education/thin…

One week to go – our online #STEAM Club resumes Thursday 6 April! Fantastic science extension and holiday fun for Ages 8 to 13 in Australia, with exciting experiments and opportunities to hear from scientists! REGISTER NOW for 2023: ansto.gov.au/education/prim… #STEM #ANSTO
