The Australian Academy of Science has reaffirmed its commitment to gender equity in STEM by signing the ‘Preserving gender equity as a higher education priority during and after COVID-19’ joint statement.
Australians have put their trust in science as a way forward to set our path out of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet the challenges arising.
The Academy has been named in the top 10 most prominent sources of information during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Australian Science Media Centre (AusSMC).
The Academy, as always, is meeting its challenges head-on. I’m particularly proud that we are building on our already extensive communications capabilities with the recent launch of ‘Global Science’, a unique and exciting global video partnership with the International Science Council that will connect the world’s greatest scientists and thinkers with a whole new audience.
The Ian Wark Theatre, the grand centrepiece of the Academy’s Shine Dome, is a work of art in itself and reflects generations of outstanding scientific history. Named as a tribute to one of Australia’s most influential scientists, the Ian Wark Theatre is the perfect place for great minds to gather.
The Academy continues to provide rapid responses through the Rapid Research Information Forum (RRIF).
Get your cameras ready and be prepared to join the Academy in ‘spotting the maths’ for the upcoming scienceXart (science and art) competition.
