To celebrate we are highlighting some of our In2science STEAM mentors and their words of wisdom for the upcoming generation ๐ฅณ
Dale is completing a PhD in Chemistry @RMIT! ๐งช๐งโ๐ฌ
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 ๐
Georgia is a science student @UniMelb majoring in computing and software systems ๐ป
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 ๐
Sourav is an Engineering student completing his Honours Year @latrobe โ๏ธ๐จโ๐๐ท. Sourav finds Engineering rewarding as you can transform an idea into its physical equivalent.
Check out Souravโs advice to the upcoming STEAM generation ๐
Geordie is an Arts student studying a double major in Psychology & Geography @UniMelb! ๐ง ๐บ๏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?'.
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 ๐
๐We 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! ๐
Check out this great quote by @CatrionaNR who perfectly sums up the need for STEAM ๐ฅณ๐
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 ๐ฉโ๐ฌ 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.
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 ๐งช @ltu_researchers
Rashmikka is an Applied Mathematics student who is going to talk about how important maths is in our daily lives ๐งฎ๐ฉโ๐ผ @MathsPathway@GWOMaths
Hi everyone, I am Rashmikka and I am here to tell you if you thought you wouldnโt 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! ๐๐ฆ
Maths is often deemed useless or too hard but thatโs not true! ๐ง
When you think about it, different numbers, equations, and functions were used to make just about everything around us! โ๏ธ๐งฎ
And who says it has to be boring? Colourful highlighters make everything better ๐
Aurelie is a PhD candidate who is currently wrapping up her thesis @PAM_latrobe@PetrovskiLab ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐
Follow along as Aurelie shares her journey in STEM! ๐ @LTUresearchers
Hi, Iโm @AulieTsee and my journey in STEM started because of my love for food ๐ฅฆ๐
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! ๐ฌ๐งช
The cooking practicals exams were quite stressful, I felt like I was in MasterChef (๐ฉโ๐ณ), but I absolutely loved the theory behind food science so in 2013 I started a Bachelor in Human Nutrition @latrobe ๐ฉโ๐๐ @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.
