Science & Technology Australia

Sixty stellar scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians were officially announced yesterday as Australia’s new Superstars of STEM by the Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic MP. ✨ scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/meet-australia…

Women in STEMM Australia welcomes our new Guests of the Chair:   🔹 Anita Trenwith – Champion of inclusive science engagement. 🔹 Haura Hussaini – Passionate STEM advocate, driving diversity in the energy sector. 🔹 Bec Bartel – Engineering leader with 25+ years of experience.

Last week, Skye Young from our Outreach Working Group met with @Ryan_Winn_cbr, CEO of @ScienceAU, to introduce our bespoke #syntheticbiology card game, #Remediate! 🃏 We discussed the background, design, and game mechanics, as well as exciting future plans—including the intent to commercialise. 🚀 💬 "A great example of how science communication can be fun, interactive, and deeply effective. More of this, please!" Thank you, Ryan! 🙌 #CoESB #ScienceCommunication #Outreach

“By doing more to recognize half the population” “boosting creativity, which, in turn, helps to achieve their broader goals.” Great and thought-provoking article by @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…. Many thanks @CosmosMagazine for featuring our innovation cosmosmagazine.com/news/nanoscale…

Hon Bill Shorten, Vice Chancellor of University of Canberra, joined Academy Chief Executive Anna-Maria Arabia OAM at #ScienceMeetsParliament 2025. He shared valuable insights with young scientists on federal politics and the crucial role of science in decision-making. The session, titled Navigating Democracy: A Beginner’s Guide to Civics, covered how legislation is made, the role of inquiries and committees, and the impact of expert advice on policy. We are proud to support Science Meets Parliament, which empowers STEM professionals and emerging leaders to learn from experts and actively shape our scientific policies and future.🌟🔬 #SMP2025

A stranding of false killer whales in Tasmania, Australia had the nation and world ask why? And what are false killer whales? People wanted to know more and I tried my best to help inform. lnkd.in/g2PNBgpg #Tasmania #stranding #superstarofSTEM @ScienceAU
