Join the Let’s Torque team for a workshop on the vital verbal and non-verbal aspects of science communication!

ABC Science returns to the Royal Society of Victoria for a special podcast recording event. Ockham’s Razor is the ABC’s soapbox for all things scientific: stories, insights, arguments or tributes – anything that can grip an audience by the ears for 10 straight minutes.

The First Astronomers takes us on a journey across space and time to reveal the wisdom of the Elders. These living systems of knowledge challenge conventional ideas about the nature of science and the longevity of oral tradition, pointing the way for a world facing the profound disruptions of climate change. The First Astronomers shows us how respectful collaborations can drive exciting and innovative solutions to global challenges that impact us all.

Lisa Kerr, Program Manager of GM Vice
