Are you or your researchers keen to speak up for science? Now more than ever we need to hear stories of science, how science has made an impact and changed our lives. We need to see and hear from passionate researchers who are making a difference.
In this bulletin I’m focussing on training, prizes and showcasing science.
The treatment of “loose joints”, or hypermobility, a painful inherited condition particularly of adolescent girls; the provision of safe and adequate water resources to communities in Australia and the developing world; and examining the possibilities and limits of executive power—these are just some of the issues being tackled by this year’s crop of Menzies scholars.

Tonight, three exceptional young women scientists will each receive a $25,000 L’Oréal Australia & New Zealand For Women in Science Fellowship to assist their research.
The 2012 Fellows are from Christchurch and Melbourne. Two are life scientists, one is a physical scientist. More here.

The detection of a Higgs boson-like particle represents a major advance in our understanding of the laws which govern the universe, says Professor Geoff Taylor.
“This is a very exciting time for physicists,” says Professor Taylor, who is chair of the 36th International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2012) underway in Melbourne.
Have we found the Higgs boson?
Find out if we have, and why it matters, this Wednesday at 6 pm in a joint press conference in Melbourne and Geneva. [continue reading…]
Deep under the French-Swiss border, particle physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have been looking for the Higgs boson – a subatomic particle which may or may not exist. [continue reading…]
The world’s high energy physics leaders meet in Melbourne in July to unveil the latest results in particle physics. [continue reading…]
At Scienceworks this weekend parents and kids are building a Lego model of a piece of the Large Hadron Collider – that’s CERN’s 27km long particle accelerator buried underneath the French-Swiss border which is looking for the Higgs boson, aka the “God particle”
