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.
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.
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
Follow along as Aurelie shares her journey in STEM! 🌟 @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.
