INVENT.   EVOLVE.   DECIDE.

Augmented brains and bodies, or a return to nature? Cyber or solar? Humans 2.0 – what is the future of our species?
Humans 2.0 is presented by the Victorian Coordinating Committee for National Science Week and The Royal Society of Victoria, and supported by Phoria.

We’ve all been there, having that age old argument: what’s the bigger breakthrough? The existence of atoms or quantum mechanics; DNA or CRISPR; the wheel or sliced bread?

To celebrate National Science Week, the Science Nation is going to answer this question once and for all. Join the fun and mayhem as the best, brightest and bravest science aficionados in the land do battle in a tournament of wits and wittiness in order to find out: what is the Greatest Discovery Ever Made?

We are delighted to be bringing the National Science Week program together for Victoria this year, and warmly invite everyone interested in being a part of this state-wide celebration of all things Science to come along to our information and networking session here at the Society.

Joining us will be the Victorian Minister for Trade, Innovation & the Digital Economy, Philip Dalidakis MP, Victoria’s Lead Scientist, Dr Amanda Caples and Questacon’s acting Director of Science and Learning, Dr Bobby Cerini. The Minister will be launching the broader Inspiring Australia program for the state, and we’ll be discussing opportunities for our communities to engage.
