Today we are thrilled to have @CatrionaNR (aka the singing scientist) from @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS share what she's excited about for the future of STEM!

In fact, she's an In2science mentor because she wants to support young scientists who will one day take the reins.

One thing @CatrionaNR loves seeing is more creativity being mashed with science. #SciArt is an amazing space and provides great ways to explore and engage more people in STEM - from songs & comedies to images & nerdy tees. She sums up it up in @museumsvictoria's 10s challenge:

More and more #WomeninSTEM are taking a stand 👩‍🔬 Women are poorly represented in the STEMM workforce, comprising <30% of researchers worldwide.

But there are programs that lift #WomeninSTEMM up, and they are banding together to create change.

#WomeninScience @WomenSciAUST

Challenges we face are too big to be addressed with traditional disciplinary boundaries. Interdisciplinary science is crucial to tackle them.
To travel in space, #renewableenergy into practice, to feed people sustainably - scientists in different fields must work together.

STEM will help us come up with creative, innovative solutions to global challenges, and technologies for biomedicine, microfabrication, robotics & #ArtificialIntelligence, and a sustainable future.

@CatrionaNR is excited to see where we take it!
