About 85% of the matter and energy in the universe is in the form of some unknown dark matter or dark energy. It was hoped that the nature of this would be discovered by particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider. Until now, however, no hints of dark matter have been observed. Presented by Professor Ben Buchler
Health policies and services developed by people working from a lived experience perspective are more relevant to patients, lead to more effective use of health resources, and are considered more trustworthy .
Presented by Dr Brett Scholz
Heatwaves have increased in their frequency, intensity and duration in the observational record.
Presented by Professor Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick
Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Mount Stromlo Observatory in 2024 with a variety of special events.
AI continues to attract significant attention across a broad frontier of application areas of commercial interest motivating a massive investment in research and development.
Presented by Prof John Taylor
The Street Theatre presents a Rae Armantrout poetry reading and in-conversation with Physics Professor Ben Buchler
An opportunity for employers and students to connect.
Scientists have long sought to understand the origins of biological complexity, including what makes us, as humans, such complex beings.
Presented by Prof Lara Malins
The Universe as we know it was formed in what we call the Big Bang, and has been expanding ever since.
Presented by Prof Brian Schmidt
The panel will discuss their research and experiences in science communication and their careers as effective communicators, practitioners, researchers, or educators in the field. With Anna-Sophie Jürgens, Graham Walker, Merryn McKinnon, Rini Astuti
We are currently in the early stages of a whole-of-economy energy transition away from fossil fuels and towards energy from renewable sources. Presented by Prof Kylie Catchpole
Melting ice sheets and mountain glaciers are contributing significantly to global sea level rise. But how much are they contributing, how do we measure this, and do independent measurements agree?
Presented by Dr. Rebecca McGirr
This symposium will explore both the potential and the pitfalls of LLMs, and how we can responsibly harness their capabilities to align with the goals of scientists and science communicators.
Looking at the universe through the Earth’s atmosphere is, for an astronomer, like viewing an art masterpiece from the bottom of a swimming pool. Presented by Dr Noelia Martinez Rey
The extraordinary properties of 3D materials found in nature, including gecko fingerprints, nacre, bone, and other biological materials, place the synthesis and understanding of hierarchical structures at the leading edge of research. Presented by Dr Lucy Gloag
The lecture will include COVID-19 vaccine types, mRNA vaccine formulation. Presented by Prof Thomas Preiss.
Body image concerns are prevalent globally, and have significant impacts on health and well-being. Presented Dr Kristen Murray
Join Dr Graham Walker and some current students to talk about their experiences and see if the Master of Science Communication might be just what you're looking for.
Through the recording and then analysis of seismic data, which can originate from earthquakes, ocean waves, or man-made sources, seismologists determine the structure of the Earth from the surface down to the core. Presented by Professor Meghan S. Miller.
As the global climate changes the relationship between human health and the climate is becoming more obvious, challenging traditional approaches to health and medicine. Presented by Dr Arnagretta Hunter
Join us for a public lecture from Honorary Associate Professor Conrad Burden (Australian National University). Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
I will present the MegaMove project resulting from a unique transdisciplinary collaboration between 378 biologists, ecologists, physicists, oceanographers and modelers , as a pathway to answer this topical question with a focus on marine megafauna. Presented by Dr Ana Sequeira
Loneliness is one of the strongest predictors of poor health.
Presented by Professor Tegan Cruwys
Computational modelling and detection of families of deeply conserved RNA structures in vertebrates.
We have previously developed the EvoFam computational pipeline [1,2] for detecting paralogous families of structured cis-regulatory regions transcriptome-wide in mammals, using mutational information across deep vertebrate alignments. Presented by Dr Brian Parker
Imagine a world where we can treat cancer with pinpoint accuracy, targeting only the cancer cells and leaving healthy cells untouched. Presented by Associate Professor Tamas Fischer & Associate Professor Marian Burr.
Widespread application of genome data to better understand human genetic diseases has provided so much information that the field of genetics is now very much a data science. Presented by Dr Dan Andrews
There is no question that heatwaves and extreme heat events are increasing in frequency, intensity and duration.
Presented by Dr Nicole Vargas
The changing climate presents a significant threat to health risk factors and the capacity of healthcare providers to deliver quality and timely services.
Presented by Dr Nyoman Sutarsa
The 8th Australian Algebra Conference is being held at the Mathematical Sciences Institute, Australian National University.
