SUMMARY:Reach for the ***STARS***
DESCRIPTION:Looking for an out-of-this-world experience? Come and explore the mysteries of the night sky and Universe with a fun Astronomy evening with the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society. Hear the REALLY BIG questions\, ask your own\, hold a meteorite\, and spy on the night sky with us. \nBring your five senses to an astronomy evening with the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society at their registered observatory on the Mornington Peninsula\, south east of Melbourne. \nSee the stars\, planets and other night sky objects through our telescopes and get a close look at the red planet\, Mars\, and the ringed planet\, Saturn\, as they are at their brightest. Hear the REALLY BIG questions out there. Feel and smell real meteorites scarily up close and personal\, and get the taste for more. \nThe evening starts indoors with a multimedia talk and Q&A then\, weather permitting\, moves outside onto the observing field and observatory with the assembled telescopes underneath the night sky. Please dress appropriately for being outdoors and on a grassy or uneven surface. You may bring a small torch if you wish. \nThe observatory is marked on Google Maps and on the Melways at map reference 151/E1. \nDriving directions\nThe venue is in regional Victoria and is entered on the east side of Nepean Highway. Drive carefully through the park\, with the possibility of wildlife on the road after dark. You will travel about 2 km along a sealed road\, over three cattle grids\, past a visitors’ centre on your left and vineyard on your right\, up the hill then straight ahead through an open gate. Do not turn left to Josephine’s restaurant. Travel past the righthand side of the Shire Nursery\, with the Park Ranger’s house on your right\, then the observatory is 100 m further along on the left.

SUMMARY:Behind the scenes at the Australian Synchrotron
DESCRIPTION:Opening in 2007 at its site in Clayton\, Victoria\, the Australian Synchrotron is Australia’s largest and arguably most successful scientific user facility\, benefitting over 3000 researchers from academia\, medical research institutes\, government and other research organisations\, and industry. \nIn simple terms\, a synchrotron is a very large\, circular\, megavoltage machine about the size of a football field. From outside\, the Australian Synchrotron\, for example\, looks very much like a roofed football stadium. But on the inside\, it’s very different. Instead of grass and seating\, there is a vast\, circular network of interconnecting tunnels and high tech apparatus. \nSynchrotrons use electricity to produce intense beams of light a million times brighter than the sun. The light is produced when high-energy electrons are forced to travel in a circular orbit inside the synchrotron tunnels by ‘synchronised’ application of strong magnetic fields. \nThe electron beams travel at just under the speed of light – about 299\,792 kilometres per second. The intense light they produce is filtered and adjusted to travel into experimental workstations\, where the light reveals the innermost\, sub-microscopic secrets of materials under investigation\, from human tissue to plants to metals and more. \nWith this new knowledge that synchrotron science provides about the molecular structure of materials\, researchers can invent ways to tackle diseases\, make plants more productive and metals more resilient – among many other beneficial applications of synchrotron science. \nTransport\nA bus departing from and returning to the Royal Society of Victoria (8 LaTrobe St\, Melbourne) will be available to transport people to and from the Synchrotron. Please indicate when registering as to whether you will be joining us at the Society from 3.30pm or on-site from 4.30pm. \nAcknowledgement\nSponsored by Inspiring Australia\, in partnership with the Convergence Science Network and the Royal Society of Victoria. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Future Humans: Sex & Evolution
DESCRIPTION:The presence of a Y chromosome is what determines whether a new human will be a male – and it’s disappearing! \nOver a long period of time\, from generation to generation\, the genetic information in the Y chromosome has been degenerating\, and one day it will no longer be a functional component of human reproduction. \nWhat will happen to all the men when this day arrives? Will this create an extinction event for humans\, or will humans evolve a new way – or several new ways – to assign genders and continue as a successful species? Might there even be more than one species of human in the future? \nThese are just some of the questions that drive Professor Jenny Graves’ amazing genomic and epigenetic research. In this interactive presentation\, Jenny will take us on a journey to discover how her work has transformed our understanding of how sex chromosomes work in all vertebrate animals\, how they evolved\, and how she has predicted the decline of the human Y chromosome. \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor Jenny Graves AO is based at La Trobe University Bundoora. She is an evolutionary geneticist who works with Australian animals; notably\, kangaroos\, platypus\, Tasmanian Devils and dragons (lizards). Her research has contributed to a deeper understanding of the immune system\, prion diseases and blood proteins\, and helped understand the tumour diving the Tasmanian Devil to extinction. In a collaboration between La Trobe and the University of Canberra\, she is studying how bearded dragons change sex in response to temperature\, a critical issue as the climate warms. \nIn 2017 Jenny was the first solo woman to win the Prime Minister’s Prize for Science for her pioneering work in genetics. She is an Officer of the Order of Australia\, a recipient of the Australian Academy of Science’s Macfarlane Burnet Medal and was the 2006 L’Oreal-UNESCO Laureate for Women in Science. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Our Mesozoic Menagerie: Australia's Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:The Ballarat STEM Network invites you to hear from Dr Stephen Poropat\, Research Associate at The Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History Postdoctoral Researcher\, Swinburne University of Technology on “Our Mesozoic Menagerie: Australia’s Dinosaurs”. \nPalaeontologist Dr Stephen Poropat has been digging up Australian dinosaur fossils since 2004\, and will share his latest exciting findings! Four major sites are currently providing new insights into Australia’s Cretaceous dinosaurs\, who lived from 145 to 66 million years ago. From the Broome trackways in Western Australia\, the Strzelecki and Otway ranges in Victoria\, Lightning Ridge in New South Wales\, and the Eromanga Basin in Queensland. \nTo date\, only twenty Australian dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era have been formally named on the basis of fossilised bones\, and almost all of these are from the middle part of the Cretaceous\, between 125 and 95 million years ago. This means that we have little idea of what Australia’s Mesozoic dinosaurs were like throughout much of their existence. \nOur understanding of dinosaur faunas has improved massively as a result of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers over the past forty years—without their efforts\, our knowledge would be very limited indeed and Stephen has had the privilege of attending six such digs since 2004. \nIt was David Elliott’s 1999 discovery of a dinosaur on his sheep station which reinvigorated excavation efforts in the Eromanga Basin. Annual digs in the Winton area\, coordinated by the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History (AAOD\, founded by David and his wife Judy)\, have been held since 2001. Stephen has helped supervise eight such AAOD digs since 2011\, and this year’s excavations were some of the most successful to date – come learn more!

SUMMARY:Australian Indigenous Astronomy: 65\,000 Years of Science
DESCRIPTION:Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people developed a number of practical ways to observe the Sun\, Moon\, stars\, and planets to inform navigation\, calendars\, predict weather\, and inform Law and social structure. This knowledge contains a significant scientific component\, which is encoded in oral traditions and material culture. \nThis talk will explore the many ways in which Indigenous Australians encode scientific information in their traditions and some of the ways in which they pass this knowledge to successive generations. \nA constant stream of emerging research is changing what we think we know about Aboriginal knowledge systems in Australia and the number of Aboriginal students studying astrophysics is rapidly growing. This lecture will introduce you to one of these students\, Kamilaroi woman and astrophysics student Krystal De Napoli\, and the research she and Dr Duane Hamacher are conducting with other Aboriginal researchers on topics ranging from Moon haloes\, Sun Dogs\, and supernovae to the antiquity of deep time oral traditions based on astronomical and geological evidence – even the official naming of Aboriginal stars by the IAU. This talk will explore the many ways in which Indigenous Australians encoded scientific information in their knowledge systems and some of the ways in which they pass this knowledge to successive generations. \nAfter the talk\, join us to celebrate the launch of the Monash STEM Network with some food and drink\, and take a look at the night sky with fresh eyes through the telescopes generously set up by the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University. \nAbout the speakers\nDr Duane Hamacher is an astronomer and Senior Research Fellow in the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre and an Adjunct Fellow in astrophysics at the University of Southern Queensland. He works closely with Indigenous elders and communities across Australia\, Southeast Asia\, the South Pacific\, and Central America to learn about their astronomical knowledge and traditions. \nKrystal De Napoli is a Kamilaroi woman undertaking an undergraduate degree in astrophysics at Monash University. In 2018 she is commencing a cadetship with the CSIRO’s Data61 team\, and is working closely with Dr Duane Hamacher and Indigenous Elders in their research into Indigenous astronomical traditions. \nTHE MONASH STEM NETWORK:\nThis event is generously hosted by Monash University in support of a new Monash STEM Network\, to be convened by the new Monash Tech School. This exciting new School brings 21st century learning modes and environments to the network of local secondary schools\, and also acts as a “Science and Innovation Hub” for the Victorian Inspiring Australia program. \n
