ANU hosted National Science Week activities outside of Canberra for the first time this year, showcasing the University’s scientific research in the nation’s two largest cities.
Researchers delivered presentations at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, and at the Melbourne Museum, on topics ranging from the origins of the universe to the increasing incidence of myopia in East Asia.
Two teams of postgraduate students also attended these events to share their research goals with audience members.
In Canberra, science week activities at ANU included a range of public lectures, open days, mini-degrees for secondary school students, star gazing at Mount Stromlo, and a public forum on the future of Canberra at Llewellyn Hall.
The Director of the Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, Dr Sue Stocklmayer, described the program as successful.
“The diversity of events not only showcased the strength of scientific research at ANU, but also helped to foster a greater interest in science among a broad cross-section of the public.”
