SUMMARY:Queers in Science: on Neurodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Join Queers in Science\, The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health\, and the Royal Society of Victoria for an online lecture on Neurodiversity. This lecture is presented as part of the Midsumma Festival and Inspiring Victoria. \n  \nWe recognise that the brain of every individual is unique\, meaning not everyone learns or thinks the same way. To reduce the stigma around neurodivergence and mental illness\, we will explore not only the science behind it\, featuring queer neuroscientists with expertise\, but also have a panel discussion with neurodivergent individuals sharing their day-to-day experience. \n  \nSpeakers\nDr Emma Burrows\nDr Emma Burrows leads a laboratory of enthusiastic people at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. Her team train mice to play games on touch-screens to learn about how genetic mutations linked to autism can change a mouse’s ability to learn and pay attention. Emma hopes a greater understanding of brain differences will help to mitigate challenges faced by some people on the autism spectrum. \n\n  \n\n  \n \nKate Huckstep\nKate Huckstep (they/them) is a queer PhD student at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health\, where they are currently researching Alcohol Use Disorder. They are fascinated by happens in the brain when people experience alcohol addiction and are passionate about finding new potential treatments for this debilitating yet highly stigmatised disease. Kate is also an avid science communicator\, hosting both a regular science comedy podcast (Curiosity Killed the Rat)\, and a science radio show (Radio Sci-Lens) on the University of Melbourne’s student radio station. \n\n  \nLiam Leyden\nLiam Leyden is currently completing his PhD at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. He is interested in investigating mechanisms of learning and memory by using cutting-edge microscopy techniques. \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n  \nPanellists\n \nDr Sophia Frentz\nSophia has a PhD in Genetics and a large number of opinions on the intersections between science\, technology\, and society. Sophia is currently a Data Consultant at  Eliiza  and is based in Melbourne\, Australia. They received one of Out for Australia’s 30 under 30 Awards in 2020 and are now a Non-Executive Director for this organisation. \n  \n  \n  \n \nDr Daphne Cohen\nDr Daphne Cohen is an emergency physician-in-training\, currently working in clinical forensic medicine. She is a published poet\, bioethicist\, aspiring novelist\, and all-round overachiever. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Planetarium Nights
DESCRIPTION:Join Scienceworks’ popular Planetarium Nights programs to explore rare and rarely seen events such as a total solar eclipse\, supernovae\, and gravitational waves. Astronomers have a strange relationship with the idea of ‘rare’; something we seldom see on Earth may be commonplace at a universal scale. Museums Victoria astronomer Dr Tanya Hill has carefully curated a special selection of rare (or maybe not-so-rare) astronomical events for the show Ticket to the Universe. Or go on a poetic journey into the rarely detected phenomena of gravitational waves with the full-dome feature show Particle/Wave.

SUMMARY:Snap\, CT Scan\, Model\, Predict!
DESCRIPTION:Learn what new technology can reveal about rare reptiles and frogs! \nFor a deep dive into some fascinating science\, come to our National Science Week edition of MV Lectures to hear about how cutting-edge technology is helping to detect and study rare species. Hear from the scientists on a bold new research project combining the fields of palaeontology\, macro-ecology\, computed tomography (CT scanning)\, taxonomy and genetics. They will illustrate how museum-based work with large\, data-rich collections and new non-invasive techniques can reveal more than ever before and built an interactive\, online space for collection access.

SUMMARY:RARE @ Parliament of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Champions of conservation and biodiversity will gather at Parliament House for this vital Science Week discussion about the extinction crisis facing thousands of Australia’s native species\, and what we can do about it. \nOur State’s remarkable botanical and zoological collections are carefully managed by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria and Zoos Victoria\, while Museums Victoria maintains significant collections related to the natural history of our region and the wider world. These familiar institutions do more than offer an interesting place for Victorians to visit – they are also engines of research and field work\, helping the State of Victoria to future-proof the unique plants and animals of our region against bushfires\, floods\, the ongoing impacts from our spreading towns and cities\, our intensive farming practices\, and our changing climate. \nOur public science institutions all care for the rare – through the Seed Bank maintained at the National Herbarium\, through activating the amazing network of community botanic gardens across metropolitan and regional Victoria\, through the tissue and DNA samples cryogenically stored by Museums Victoria in a BioBank to safeguard the genetic diversity of threatened species\, and through the captive breeding programs for species on the brink of extinction\, diligently nurtured back to population health by biologists and ecologists at Zoos Victoria. \nJoin us for this RARE panel conversation\, streamed live from Parliament House\, to learn from the botanists\, zoologists and collection managers leading this important work. Find out some of the ways they are planning to help our plants and animals adapt and persist through the multiple challenges in our immediate future. \nPresented in partnership with the Royal Society of Victoria\, the Parliament of Victoria\, and the Victorian Parliamentarians for STEM for National Science Week 2022.
