An Academy website which aims to communicate jargon-free, accessible science has gone live this week.
First established in 1997 as one of the first of science communication websites in Australia, Nova has been transformed into a new dynamic and interactive site that explores topical science.
The new website has articles on a range of topics, from vaccines to the chemistry of cosmetics to the Square Kilometre Array.
Designed for a general audience, the rebranded site also includes quizzes, infographics, videos and ‘ask an expert’, where readers can connect with some of the best and brightest minds in Australia.
All topics are reviewed by expert scientists, including Academy Fellows, to check for accuracy.
The new version of Nova has been generously support by Telstra. Nova will launch officially at the Australian Museum in August.
