๐ŸŒŸHappy World STEAM Day! ๐ŸŒŸ

To celebrate we are highlighting some of our In2science STEAM mentors and their words of wisdom for the upcoming generation ๐Ÿฅณ
Dale is completing a PhD in Chemistry @RMIT! ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡ Graphic with an image of Dale Osborne, with the text โ€œPhD
Georgia is a science student @UniMelb majoring in computing and software systems ๐Ÿ’ป

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 ๐Ÿ‘‡ Graphic with an image of Georgia Lewis, with the text โ€œBac
Sourav is an Engineering student completing his Honours Year @latrobe โš™๏ธ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ‘ท. Sourav finds Engineering rewarding as you can transform an idea into its physical equivalent.

Check out Souravโ€™s advice to the upcoming STEAM generation ๐Ÿ‘‡ Graphic with an image of Sourav Salhan, with the text โ€œBac
Geordie is an Arts student studying a double major in Psychology & Geography @UniMelb! ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Geordie's experience at university has taught him that 'am I learning?' is a better question to ask yourself than 'am I happy with my grades?'.

Read what Geordie finds rewarding in STEAM
A few weeks ago we met Rashmikka a Maths Major @swinburne through #TakeoverThursday ! ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“š

Rashmikka mentioned she finds her degree rewarding as STEAM has no limits, and that's what makes it great!

Here is some advice from Rashmikka to people in STEAM ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐ŸŒŸWe are so thankful to all of our STEAM mentors that are showing the future generation how important all subjects are in our daily life, degrees, and careers! ๐ŸŒŸ

Check out this great quote by @CatrionaNR who perfectly sums up the need for STEAM ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘‡

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. Catriona in a school science lab holding a beaker. Catriona
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 ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ 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.

๐ŸŒŸReady for another #TakeoverThursday? ๐ŸŒŸ

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 ๐Ÿงช @ltu_researchers

This post is in celebration of @nationalmoleday (23/10) ๐Ÿฅณ
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 (๐Ÿฅฃ), I am creating a to-do list & preparing my chemicals for the day's reactions ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ”ฌ 4 glass tubes used in chemistry Image of two glass vessels behind a glass window in a fumeho
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 ๐Ÿค .

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 ๐Ÿงฎ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ @MathsPathway @GWOMaths
Hi everyone, I am Rashmikka and I am here to tell you if you thought you wouldnโ€™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! ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿฆ
Maths is often deemed useless or too hard but thatโ€™s not true! ๐Ÿง 

When you think about it, different numbers, equations, and functions were used to make just about everything around us! โš›๏ธ๐Ÿงฎ

And who says it has to be boring? Colourful highlighters make everything better ๐ŸŒˆ

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! ๐Ÿง—

Perfect timing for @earthsciweek ๐ŸŒ Elowen standing outdoors in a hilly environment. She is wear
In a brief break between Victorian lockdowns in May, I was fortunate to be able to do fieldwork for my Honours project ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿš—

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 ๐ŸŒ„ Semi-arid landscape at sunset. In the distance are gentle hi
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 Geological map for the Copley map area in South Australia

For #TakeoverThursday this week, we will be hearing from In2science mentor, @AulieTsee!

Aurelie is a PhD candidate who is currently wrapping up her thesis @PAM_latrobe @PetrovskiLab ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“

Follow along as Aurelie shares her journey in STEM! ๐ŸŒŸ
@LTUresearchers
Hi, Iโ€™m @AulieTsee and my journey in STEM started because of my love for food ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿ…

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! ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงช Image of Aurelie at high school chopping capsicum as part of
The cooking practicals exams were quite stressful, I felt like I was in MasterChef (๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ), but I absolutely loved the theory behind food science so in 2013 I started a Bachelor in Human Nutrition @latrobe ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ”– @LTUnutrition Image one is a photo of the La Trobe Bundoora campus in AutuImage two is a collage of photos of food dishes Aurelie has

๐ŸŒŸWe are excited to roll out #TakeoverThursday featuring our amazing mentors each week! ๐ŸŒŸ

Today we have @LizzieLieschke, a PhD researcher at @WEHI_research, and @UniMelb showing us a day in the life of a cancer researcher! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงช

Watch the video here: bit.ly/3ohlWtl ๐Ÿ‘ˆ
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! Picture of the WEHI building
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. Picture of cancer cells down the microscope
