“I see maths as more of an art than a science,” Grover Lancaster-Cole says.

Heidi Parkes completed a Master of Science Communication. During her studies she participated in a pilot mentor program for her master’s research course.

When I enrolled in my science degree at ANU, I was sure I wanted to focus just on chemistry. Then, when it came time to choose my courses, I scrolled through my options and saw there was so much more to science than I ever realised.

ANU Students attended the 20th iGEM Grand Jamboree in Paris and entered a team into the iGEM global synthetic biology competition to present their research and hear from leaders in the field.

“It is a strange thing being so intimately part of something but also not understanding what will happen, and the secrecies involved in it,” says ANU alumna and Alone Australia contestant Kate Grarock.

The search for dark matter seems an impossible challenge, but that’s nothing new to Victoria Uttaree Bashu; becoming a physicist seemed an impossible dream for her.

From exploring the mysteries of dark matter, to planting the seeds of human life away from Earth, Lachlan McKie is using nuclear science to solve some of our most complex questions.
