We are stocked to have In2science mentor Annelisa (@RigoniStella) from @RMIT take over our Twitter for #TakeoverThursday!
Annelisa is a PhD candidate in Chemistry, who is going to talk about some of the things they have learnt during their past 8 years of study in STEM at RMIT!

First up – my very first few years at @RMIT! Completing 2 degrees in Applied Science & Nanotechnology, I learnt so much about how the world around us works on the smaller scale – and also how to make cool compounds in the chemistry labs! 
During these first four years completing these degreed, I also had the opportunity to tour the Australian Synchrotron @ANSTO, which I learnt is currently used to carry out crucial research in Australia!
For #TakeoverThursday we have Stefany George, an In2science mentor and Biomed student at @latrobe!
Ever considered studying medicine? Hear from Stefany about her experience and the pathway to get there!👩⚕️⚕️

Stefany is in her 2nd year of a Bachelor in Biomedicine @latrobe and aspires to be a doctor!
To do this, Stefany must complete a Doctorate of Medicine (MD), but let's break down the steps to get there!

The first course you would complete is an undergraduate course in biomedicine. This involves completing lectures, quizzes, exams and assignments that you need to do well in to score a high Grade-Point Average (GPA).
A high GPA will improve your chances of getting into medicine

🌟In2science mentor, Yanghan Wan, is studying a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Civil Systems @UniMelb 🌟
For today's #TakeoverThursday we are highlighting Yanghan's article that was recently featured in the University of Melbourne news: facebook.com/28418238495050…

Yanghan moved from New Zealand to @UniMelb to pursue a Bachelor of Science as this course allowed him to pick a variety of subjects from different disciplines.
Yanghan felt @UniMelb was a great choice he was surrounded by people from different backgrounds, that wanted to learn!

Yanghan was inspired to pursue a career in STEM as he was always curious, often asking his parents 'why?'.
He really wanted to know how purely theoretical knowledge could be applied in the real world, for example, engineering with the application of maths and physics 💻⚙️

Dale is completing a PhD in Chemistry @RMIT! 🧪🧑🔬
In the chemistry field, @DaleAOsborne mentions when he gets stuck on an experiment, he takes a break or switches tasks, then comes back with a fresh mind to solve the problem.
Dale would like to tell future STEAM students 👇

Georgia is a science student @UniMelb majoring in computing and software systems 💻
Georgia believes the technology field is rewarding as it allows us to solve problems and help connect people (especially during the lockdowns)!
Check out Georgias advice for people in STEAM 👇

Today we have @LilyKenchEvans who is a student in @LIMSLTU @latrobe who will be walking us through a day in the life of a Chemistry Honours student 🧪 @ltu_researchers
This post is in celebration of @nationalmoleday (23/10) 🥳

As most of my day is spent in the lab, I start with desk work such as checking data, especially if an analysis has run overnight.
While you prepare your food for the day (🥣), I am creating a to-do list & preparing my chemicals for the day's reactions 🧑🔬🔬

As a reaction usually runs overnight, I then purify one from the previous day, as there may be a by-product I need to remove.
I can visualize what is in the reaction mixture through dots on a TLC plate, as seen below 🤠.

In honor of #MathsWeek, we are stocked to have In2science mentor, Raskmikka from @Swinburne take over our Twitter for #TakeoverThursday!
Rashmikka is an Applied Mathematics student who is going to talk about how important maths is in our daily lives 🧮👩💼 @MathsPathway @GWOMaths

Hi everyone, I am Rashmikka and I am here to tell you if you thought you wouldn’t use Maths in life, think again!
Maths is in every career you can think of, including my goal job growing up...an ice-cream truck driver. That uses a lot of Maths too! 📊🍦

Maths is often deemed useless or too hard but that’s not true! 🧠
When you think about it, different numbers, equations, and functions were used to make just about everything around us! ⚛️🧮
And who says it has to be boring? Colourful highlighters make everything better 🌈

This week for #TakeoverThursday we have @elowenamos, a geology Honours student from @SciMelb @UnimelbESPG!
Elowen is going to tell us what a geology field trip entails and some of the work that comes from fieldwork samples! 🧗
Perfect timing for @earthsciweek 🌏

In a brief break between Victorian lockdowns in May, I was fortunate to be able to do fieldwork for my Honours project 🛣️🚗
As part of this field trip, I traveled to the beautiful lands of the Adnyamathanha, an area you may know as the Flinders Ranges and surrounds 🌄

My motivation to undertake fieldwork was to collect samples of rocks from the early #Cambrian period, over 500 million years ago!
These rocks contain all sorts of treasures, including fossils of the very wacky-looking Archaeocyatha, like in this awesome @melbournemuseum model

@LTUresearchers
Hi, I’m @AulieTsee and my journey in STEM started because of my love for food 🥦🍅
In high school, I studied food science and chemistry as I was curious about how all the delicious foods we eat are digested and absorbed into the body, and the science behind it all! 🔬🧪

The cooking practicals exams were quite stressful, I felt like I was in MasterChef (👩🍳), but I absolutely loved the theory behind food science so in 2013 I started a Bachelor in Human Nutrition @latrobe 👩🎓🔖 @LTUnutrition

Lizzie starts her day @WEHI_research checking emails, creating a to-list, and planning her experiments so they all fit in the day.
Lizzie is interested in cancer cells and how they respond to cancer treatment, let's follow along to learn more!

To conduct her research, @LizzieLieschke uses cancer cell lines pictured here, that act as a model for human cancer in the lab.
Lizzie starts in the lab by checking her cells and providing them with extra nutrients to grow, so they can be used for future experiments.
