About Us

This compilation of stories illustrating the diversity of Australian science is produced by Science in Public.

Science in Public is a science communication company based in Melbourne, Australia. We help scientists and science organisations present their ideas in public space.

We thank the many science organisations who have contributed to Stories. If you would like more information, please use the links and contact details at the end of each story.

This site showcases the stories found in our print editions of Stories of Australian Science.

Our latest edition is Stories of Australian Science 2012 - you can read it online here.

Stories has grown from our first collection, written in 2007  when journalists met in Melbourne for the 5th World Conference of Science Journalists. Since 2010, we’ve published an annual magazine featuring highlights of Australian Science. They are distributed to contributing agencies and interested Australian government departments and delegations worldwide.

We publish occasional special editions: Stories of Australian Astronomy was an astronomy-themed storybook produced in conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy and the Australian Department of Innovation Industry, Science and Research (DIISR).

And we help Australia’s Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research to highlight Australia’s collaboration with other countries:

  • Australia and China - read more here or as a PDF here.
  • US-Australian Innovation – view online here or as a PDF here.
