Fresh Science school forums: VIC

Fresh Science

Hear award-winning young scientists from across Australia talk about their latest discoveries.

In June, free one-hour school forums are being held in Melbourne and regional Victoria as part of Fresh Science 2011.

Last year’s science included: Measuring sea ice from helicopters, printing your own TV, capturing CO2 with cling wrap, using fertiliser to fight weeds, how black holes eat, electric plastic and more.

At these free one-hour forums students will hear from a number of early-career scientists as they describe their latest discoveries across a range of fields from botany and zoology to biotechnology, physics, medicine and engineering.
