Further information
Japanese science and technology has changed Australia: from the Walkman to the DVD, hybrid cars, stem cell science and more. But it’s not a one way trade. Japanese lives are being improved by Australian inventions such as the bionic ear, gum that repairs tooth decay, sleep disorder treatments, lithium to treat bi-polar disorder, black boxes, and anti-flu drugs, which are all used daily in Japan.
Today there are hundreds of thriving Australia/Japan research collaborations, many of which will have a profound impact on our lives in the years ahead. Find out more at the Science in Public booth presented in collaboration with the Australian Embassy in Japan.
Staff at the booth will also be available to discuss, “How to get Japanese science into the western media”, the topic of a Sunday morning forum at Science Agora.
