SUMMARY:Indigenous Food and Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special webinar on Indigenous agriculture\, where we’ll yarn about native foods and Indigenous farmers — everything from practising agriculture as a traditional custodian\, growing bush foods and making sure they’re safe to eat\, preparing amazing meals and getting Australian native foods to market! \nAbout the Speakers\nUncle Dave Wandin is a member of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Aboriginal Corporation and chairperson on the board for the Wandoon Estate Aboriginal Corporation\, which represents the Wurundjeri people\, the Aboriginal owners of the historical property “Coranderrk” in the Yarra Valley. Coranderrk was set up as an Aboriginal Reserve in 1863 and was led by William Barak (who Wandin is a descendant of). The community had to fight hard to keep their land and community thriving\, but in 1924 the property was forced to close\, and in 1999\, the Indigenous Land Corporation purchased 80 hectares of the property and gave ownership to the Wandoon Estate (Barak’s descendants). Coranderrk now operates as a farm for native bush foods and is set to open up as a training space and commercial kitchen. \nLuke Williams is a proud Gumbaynggirr descendent who grew up in rural NSW. Luke is currently completing his PhD in the School of Health and Biomedical Sciences at RMIT University. In collaboration with the national food regulatory body\, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)\, and working alongside Aboriginal businesses and organisations\, his research provides insight into how newly formed regulatory frameworks for assessing the dietary safety of traditional food items can better consider the unique history\, knowledge and culture held by First Nations people. \nKerrie Saunders is a Kamillaroi/Gomeroi woman from the northwest of NSW. What started out as a hobby for gardening and bush walks has turned into a passion for highlighting bush tucker in the local and surrounding areas of Moree. Kerrie now conducts regular bush tucker tours through her business\, Yinarr-ma\, where she identifies bush tucker and cooks yummy meals for guests. \nKerrie also works with the University of Sydney on the Indigenous Grasslands for Grain project in Narrabri\, making flour and bread with native grains. \n@gilbertjoshuam\nJoshua Gilbert is a Worimi man\, farmer and academic\, who shares the narration of Indigenous identity through agricultural truths in light of modern contexts. \nHe is undertaking higher degree research at Charles Sturt University\, is the Indigenous Co-Chair of Reconciliation NSW and was recently recognised within the world’s top 50 young gastronomers. \n  \n  \n@karlie_moon_\nA joint presentation by the ACT National Science Week Coordinating Committee and the Royal Society of Victoria.\nOur MC: Gamilaraay astrophysicist Karlie Noon is passionate about Indigenous astronomical knowledge and was the first Indigenous woman to obtain a double degree in science and mathematics. Karlie recently commenced a PhD in astronomy at the Australian National University and is Sydney Observatory’s first Astronomy Ambassador. \n  \n  \nRegistration is available below to participate in the webinar via Zoom and/or Eventbrite.  Alternatively\, you can watch along via Facebook Live at the appointed time without needing to register. \n

SUMMARY:Collecting Insights: Environmental Adaptation in Victoria @ Parliament of Victoria
DESCRIPTION:The ACCLIMATISE Major Partner Special Event. \nSunday 22 August 2pm \nWhat do our best-loved public science engagement institutions tell us about future environmental adaptation through their collections and research in Victoria?  When you visit the Museum or Zoo or Botanical gardens\, it can be a fascinating and fun day out\, yet many don’t realise our public institutions are engine rooms of important environmental research. There is a diverse range of work happening behind the scenes to measure\, understand\, plan\, and adapt for the future of biodiversity in Victoria. \nJoin us for our ACCLIMATISE special panel conversation\, streamed live from the Legislative Council Chamber at Parliament House with a small invited live audience of families\, 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 to our state’s warming\, drying climate. \nProfessor Tim Entwisle\, Director and Chief Executive\, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. Professor Tim Entwisle is Director and Chief Executive of Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. A highly respected scientist and scientific communicator with a broad interest in plants\, science and gardens\, he was director of Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust for eight years\, and spent two years at Royal Botanic Gardens\, Kew before returning to Australia.  His PhD from La Trobe University concerned the discovery and classification of a group of algae never studied before in this country. Tim is interested more generally in the seasonality of plants and algae and is the author of Sprinter and Sprummer: Australia’s Changing Seasons. \n  \nDr Ken Walker\, Senior Curator of Entomology\, Museums Victoria.  I am a senior curator in the entomology (insects and spiders) section.  I have worked at Museums Victoria since 1981. My research interests are in native Australian bees (in particular the family Halictidae) and pollination syndromes (what bee pollinates what plant). I have actively promoted my entomological experiences through several museum exhibitions\, biodiversity\, biosecurity and citizen science websites and I have given talks to field naturalists groups throughout Victoria as well as Australian and overseas conferences.  I have described over 150 new species of native bees\, especially in the genera Homalictus and Lasioglossum and I have several species of Australian bees named after me. \n  \nDr Sally Sherwen\, Director of Wildlife Conservation and Science\, Zoos Victoria.  Dr Sally Sherwen is the Director of Wildlife Conservation and Science at Zoos Victoria. She manages the team that has a strategic focus across the zoos conservation and education programs\, science and research programs\, life sciences development (animal welfare\, species planning\, animal husbandry optimisation) and environmental sustainability. Sally’s background is in Animal Welfare Science and Human-Animal Relationships. \n  \n  \nKate Phillips\, Senior Curator Science Exhibitions\, Museums Victoria (Facilitator and Analyst).  I develop content for exhibitions\, public events and publications on topics relating to science\, technology and society for audiences of different ages\, interests and backgrounds.  As a member of creative exhibition teams I am responsible for content development and public communication across whole gallery spaces\, an entire exhibition or individual exhibits depending on the scope of the project. To create dynamic and relevant experiences we use a range of media – from physical interactives and interactive multimedia and games\, to immersive environments\, to push button models and heritage object displays. \n  \nJoin the webinar live stream here \nAfter live streaming\, the conversation will be available on the Parliament of Victoria’s Youtube Channel
