SUMMARY:Secrets from Beyond Extinction: Unlocking the Thylacine Genome
DESCRIPTION:The Tasmanian tiger or thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) was the largest carnivorous Australian marsupial to exist into the modern era. Their resemblance to the eutherian wolf is considered the most striking example of convergent evolution in mammals. This is even more striking when you consider that they last shared a common ancestor over 160 million years ago. \nSadly\, the last known thylacine died in captivity in 1936. However\, Associate Professor Andrew Pask and his colleagues have sequenced the thylacine genome from a preserved “pouch young” specimen and used it to examine its phylogenetic placement\, population life history and the genetic basis of its convergence with the wolf. Their findings have shed light on the biology of this unique\, marsupial apex predator\, and the mechanisms of its evolution\, development and burden of disease. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr Andrew Pask is an Associate Professor and Reader and ARC Future Fellow in the School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne. His research focuses on defining key genes directing phenotypic development in mammals. He sequenced the genome of the platypus\, tammar wallaby\, thylacine and most recently the dunnart. His work on the thylacine examined the biology of this unique extinct species. He currently establishing stem cells from marsupials to understand more about totipotent and pluripotent states in mammals and to provide the reagents necessary for species conservation. \nHis work in marsupials has greatly increased our understanding of the biology of our unique fauna and shed light on many critical developmental events across all mammals\, including proving important insights into the aetiology of human reproductive diseases.

SUMMARY:R.U.R. 2020
DESCRIPTION:In the near future\, a young scientist responsible for a world-changing medical breakthrough uncovers a corporate conspiracy that could spell the end of one species – and the rise of another. A reimagination of Karel Capek’s classic sci-fi thriller\, performed in a real-life laboratory. \n“I have seen a new generation of man being stitched together like so many patchwork quilts in an unending line. They will make Einsteins for pennies and dimes; Napoleons by the bundle; and new creatures that have no parallel on the Earth.” \nAlmost a century has passed since Czech playwright Karel Capek wrote Rossum’s Universal Robots\, a provocative sci-fi satire depicting the creation and inevitable rebellion of a race of artificial humans – the first ‘robots’. \nToday we are surrounded by real life robots\, and fears of human redundancy abound. Meanwhile\, in our hospitals and in our bodies\, incredible new technologies promise miracle cures that blur the boundary between the natural and the artificial. \nHosted live in the labs of BioFab3D\, one of Australia’s top medical research facilities\, RUR 2020 reimagines Capek’s controversial classic for the new century. The first robots will be flesh and blood. \nProduced by BioFab3D and PlayReactive. \nPost-show forums on Thursday 9 and 16 August.

SUMMARY:Art of Science Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute’s annual Art of Science exhibition showcases stunning images and videos captured by Australian medical researchers tackling some of the biggest challenges facing global health. \nTaking place during National Science Week\, the Art of Science exhibition runs from 10 – 19 August 2018 at Melbourne’s Federation Square. The experience shines a light on biomedical exploration and discovery traversing the vast and complex research areas of cancer\, infectious diseases and immune disorders. \nSee how blood vessels sprout from a piece of bone grown in the laboratory; watch breast cancer cells ‘caught on camera’ as they attempt to run riot in other parts of the body; and be unsettled by a writhing parasite ‘playground’ captured under the microscope with an iPhone. \nDirector of the Institute\, Professor Doug Hilton said Art of Science was like a ‘backstage pass’ into the laboratory revealing how medical researchers worked to better understand\, prevent and treat disease. \n“The images and videos in our Art of Science exhibition provide magnificent insight into the challenges our biomedical researchers are working to address – whether that’s stopping aggressive cancers from spreading in the body; finding ways to outsmart the malaria mosquito; or pinpointing what is going awry in development where birth defects such as spina bifida and cleft palate occur\,” Professor Hilton said. \nProfessor Hilton said the exhibition offered a unique opportunity for the public to grasp how rapid advances in medical imaging technology were enabling researchers to visualise the unseeable in impressive detail. \n“Visitors to the exhibition get the chance to see what blood vessels look like when they migrate to form conduits that transport food\, oxygen and germ-fighting immune cells throughout the body. \n“They’ll also see a life-size snapshot of breast tissue\, resembling blossoms at the end of a stem\, that in reality is no bigger than a few grains of rice\,” Professor Hilton said. \nInstitute staff and scientists will be in The Atrium at Federation Square between 10am-6pm throughout the exhibition period\, to show visitors around and answer their questions. \nA time-honoured competition \nThe Art of Science exhibition is also a showcase of 20 finalists from the Institute’s annual Art of Science competition\, which was founded in 1997 by former Institute director Professor Suzanne Cory. \nThis year\, our esteemed panel of judges is from Museums Victoria and includes CEO Lynley Marshall; Senior Curator for Human Biology and Medicine Johanna Simkin; and Collections Curator for Engineering Matilda Vaughan. \n“My selection was made on the basis of artistic appeal\, representation of subject matter and the degree to which the image engaged me with the subject\,” Ms Marshall said. \nThe public also get to have their say. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to vote for their favourite image in the ever popular People’s Choice Awards for the chance to win a framed print of their choice.

SUMMARY:Pop Culture and Science: Do They Play Nice?
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Melbourne International Film Festival \nA panel of cultural and scientific experts lock horns over the way cinema and other forms of entertainment have advanced or regressed popular attitudes towards science. In a post-truth world\, how have the big and small screens helped or hindered the way we perceive science and technology? Are we more engaged with science or more likely to dismiss it? Are we more likely to dismiss fact-based evidence or are we now questioning assumed facts in ways that are useful? Are we entering a new age of heightened accountability or are we going backwards into an era of misinformation and ignorance? \nGuests: \nWill Dayble: Founder of the online entrepreneurship and impact school Fitzroy Academy\, and lecturer for Monash University’s Global Challenges Advanced Honours Degree. He was founded startups in digital\, education and social enterprise\, and also works at a mentor and consultant. \nProfessor Angela Ndalianis: Research Professor at the Swinburne University of Technology. Her research focuses on film entertainment media technologies with an outlook on how they mediate our experience of the world around us. \nLauren Rosewarne: Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne and co-host of ABC Radio National’s Stop Everything pop culture show and Mamamia’s Sealed Section podcast. Lauren has written nine books about gender\, sexuality and pop culture. \nSarah-Jane Woulahan: a filmmaker whose films include the AI themed short\, A Terrible Beauty (MIFF 2016). She’s currently developing her first feature\, and her PhD research\, as a candidate at RMIT\, investigates the adaptation of film language to live action\, cinematic\, virtual reality. \nRahul Soans (moderator): Engineer with a Masters in International Business with a background working for social enterprises and startups. He runs The Disruptive Business Network and he is the co-founder of Balancingact3\, a consultancy that works in the human rights and human services sectors.

SUMMARY:Stuck on a Rock - Premiere Screening
DESCRIPTION:The premiere screening for my short documentary on the Lord Howe Island stick insect. \nStuck on a Rock is a documentary on the saga of the Lord Howe Island stick insect\, one of the rarest species of insects on the planet. It was exterminated on Lord Howe Island by rats that were accidentally introduced in a shipwreck in the early 1900s and was thought extinct. But a series of incredible discoveries led to its re-emergence on one of the most remote and beautiful places on earth\, about 20km south east of Lord Howe – Balls Pyramid. \nSince then it has been an epic journey to prevent this unique species of insect (dubbed the thylacine of the insect world) from disappearing again. This humble insect has become a symbol of the struggle to preserve what we have left and to mitigate our impact on the natural world. \nThe night will also include talks by Rohan Cleave\, zookeeper at Melbourne Zoo\, and Keith Bell\, old school climber of Ball’s Pyramid.

SUMMARY:Powering the future
DESCRIPTION:The PowerWorks museum includes interactive\, scientific displays and models of the gigantic boilers and dredgers that remain a major provider of the reliable and stable load supply of electricity that has helped build Victoria’s economy. See the science of converting brown coal into steam and then electricity and the advancement of higher-efficiency\, lower-emission technologies that are now being used elsewhere in the world. \nThere will open access to the displays with guided tours of the complex as well as some of the more significant points of interest in the surrounds. PowerWorks overlooks the huge\, recently closed\, Morwell/Hazelwood open-cut brown coal mine. \nGuides will be able to explain some of the engineering challenges which need to be overcome in rehabilitating the mine\, as well as its 60-year history. The displays will appeal to all ages\, from primary school-age and up and provide both a historical and technical perspective of Victoria’s brown coal industry. \nCost \n\nAdults $5.00\nConcession $2.50\nSchool children free
