SUMMARY:Win a free moon rock competition!
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of our 50th birthday and the Moon landing on 21 July 1969 (Australian Time) we are running a competition to win a small piece of the Moon! Open to all Primary & Secondary students in Australia. The question asked gives a clue to how we obtained the unique specimen. Good luck. \n  \n*** It’s our 50th birthday this year\, inspired by humans walking on the Moon! ***  So we’d like to kneel down and share the buzz with you. \nPrize\nA small piece of the Moon. It’s not as big as the one photographed by Eugene Cernan on the Moon though. And\, no\, you don’t win any cheese. \nEligibility\nOnly for current school-age students at high school or primary school anywhere in Australia. \nCost\nFree. \nWhat’s the catch?\nNone\, though we do hope that Google Forms can handle the excitement of Science Week! \nWhat to do\nGo to the link for the free National Science Week competition at the MPAS Events page below\, answer some easy questions and put in your best guess at the final BIG Moon question there. Then wait. That’s it. \nThe winner will be contacted by email and one of their teachers must reply to us with an address to which the prize can be safely shipped. \nThe calculated answer will be posted on the MPAS website once determined. \nType your answers carefully because duplicates will be disqualified. Only one entry per student. \nCompetition is open now and closes on 18 August. \nThe first received closest answer to that determined from the “wisdom of the crowd” value across Australia after the end of the competition will be the winner. \nSee the link for further details of this fun and easy experiment\, and good luck! \nIf this has inspired you\, like the late Neil Armstrong asked\, to “look up and give the Moon a wink“\, do some local detective work to see if you have a nearby astronomy society or club who might be able to share the wonders of the Australian night sky with your family.

SUMMARY:The Moon
DESCRIPTION:20 July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing and the first steps taken on the lunar surface by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. This exhibition is programmed to coincide with this significant milestone\, and brings together artistic responses to the celestial body that orbits the Earth. \nFor centuries artists from many cultures have been inspired by the Moon\, the most prominent feature of our night sky. The exhibition includes historical works created when the Moon could only be viewed from afar\, works from the era of the 1960s space race\, and more contemporary responses informed by the imagery and scientific knowledge acquired through space exploration. \nJust as the Moon itself can be viewed from multiple vantage points from the Earth\, works in the exhibition will be located throughout the galleries. Links with literature\, film\, music and science will also be explored\, highlighting the Moon’s capacity to engender creativity and inquiry. \nAcross five key exhibition themes\, The Moon will invite a new engagement with\, and provide new perspectives on\, this enigmatic celestial body that we all see and are influenced by.

SUMMARY:Yaapeet's Native Plants - Changes Over 30 Years
DESCRIPTION:How well do you know the native plants in your local Nature Reserve? \nGet to know Yaapeet’s native plants – on the Nature Reserve on the east of the town/school boundary from an historic collection (made in 1988) and a walk/survey to be made today. \nFor National Science Week\, Yaapeet PS is bringing back Rod Newnham its local expert\, botanist\, former park ranger and YPS parent (who made the original collection)\, from 30 years ago to inform and inspire us to notice and know our local native plants. \nWe have recently rediscovered the well-preserved plant collection made by the school with Rod in 1988 and will to use them to see changes since then. \nThe morning will be spent with the school children preparing with Rod for the afternoon\, when the community will be invited to come on a guided walk into our Nature Reserve (beside the school) and see what is there and discover what may have changed. \nIf you can’t be there\, we plan to prepare a display from these two samplings (1988\, 2018) for the school centenary in October. \nThe Royal Botanic Gardens is interested in this 1988 collection – if we can identify the species of each plant sample. For this we need Rod’s help\, and to direct any preparation needed for their final resting place.

SUMMARY:Girls in Physics Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:At the breakfast students from Years 10 to 12 will share a table with two or three young women who are either in the early stages of a career in physics or engineering\, or are at university as an undergraduate or a postgraduate. The students have a chance to ask questions about their careers and what study at university is like. Students will be seated with students from other schools. \nThere is also an address by a prominent scientist\, who will talk about her area of interest at a level appropriate for the audience. The speaker is Dr Ceri Brenner\, the Australian Institute of Physics (AIP) Women in Physics lecturer for 2018. Dr Brenner is speaking as part of her national tour. Her topic is ‘Pressing FIRE on the most powerful laser in the world’. \nDr Brenner is a physicist with UK Research and Innovisation.  She uses the most powerful lasers in the world to develop innovative imaging technology for medical\, nuclear and aerospace inspection. She has a unique role that spans research\, innovation and business development and is driving the translation of laser-driven accelerator research into industrial applications that impact our society. Her website has information about her research and her outreach activities. \nAbstract: When we press FIRE on the most powerful laser in the world\, we deliver a packet of light that is a thousand billion billion times more intense than the sunlight you feel at the beach! That’s super intense! But what makes these lasers really super is that we’re using them to turn research into real applications that will improve our future. From igniting a miniature star on earth to keeping our power stations working for thousands of years with clean fuel\, to designing micro accelerator beams for detecting and zapping away cancer or even taking a snapshot photo of a jet engine at full speed! \nAs an optional add on to the breakfast\, at no extra cost\, there is a 90 minute tour of the nearby Australian Synchrotron as well as activities on Careers in STEM. There is a limit of 6 students per school to maximise the number of schools that can participate. \nThis event is supported by ANSTO\, Vicphysics Teachers’ Network\, the Victorian Branch of the Australian Institute of Physics\, FLEET (Future Low Energy Electronic Technologies) and the Federal Government’s Inspiring Australia – Inspiring Science program.

SUMMARY:You and Your Racist Brain: The Neuroscience of Prejudice
DESCRIPTION:In large part\, racism stems from the human brain’s tendency to engage in prejudice\, a process that allows us to make millisecond judgments based on visual information. These preconceived opinions about other people are instinctual — and they have a basis in neuroscience. Why does the brain do this? Can we use what we know about the neuroscience of prejudice to develop methods to combat and end racism? \nAbout the speaker: \nDr Larry Sherman is a Professor in the Department of Cell\, Developmental and Cancer Biology & the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the Oregon Health & Science University & the Oregon National Primate Research Center. He is the President of the Oregon Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience\, with over 80 publications related to brain development & neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. He serves on a number of national scientific review panels for the U.S. National Institutes of Health\, the U.S. Congressionally-Directed Medical Research Programs\, & others. \nThe Oregon Museum of Science & Industry and Portland Monthly Magazine recognized Dr. Sherman as one of the most innovative people in the State of Oregon. https://rsv.org.au/events/you-and-your-racist-brain/ \nCo-presented by the RMIT School of Health & Biomedical Sciences and the Royal Society of Victoria.

SUMMARY:Café Scientifique: Pets\, Pots\, Pints and Parasites
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this National Science Week event and lively café scientifique discussion with researchers from Federation University who will explore peculiarities\, the strange beauty and the threats posed by parasites. Beer brewing will also feature with Federation University researchers showing the audience why “brewing” is a combination of art and science. \nPlease book online for this free event. \nParasites are a part of everyone’s life; they infect our pets\, the meat and crops we eat\, and us. They also infect our iconic marsupial wildlife and the fish in our unique oceans and reefs\, sometimes with devastating consequences. \nParasites are barometers for the health of any ecosystem; signals that life is out of balance. Australia\, like everywhere else\, also has a large number of common\, human parasites\, particularly in our Indigenous communities in our northern reaches. Some of these can be chronic\, incapacitating and even life-threatening. Bernard Lee Singleton’s magnificent painting\, Gula Guri mayin (which means “Heal the body”)\, explores themes of parasites and health. \nResearchers from Federation University will involve their audience in new and old science stories; describing their research related to human and animal health including vaccine and drug development against parasites. \nThis Inspiring Australia event is supported by the Australian Government as part of National Science Week and co-hosted by the Art Gallery of Ballarat\, Federation University and the Australian Society for Parasitology.
