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: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: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.

DESCRIPTION:Australian’s Mesozoic Menagerie: Dinosaurs from the Age of Reptiles – a talk by Swinburne University’s Dr Stephen Poropat. \nTo date\, only twenty Australian dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era (251-66 million years ago) have been formally named on the basis of fossilised bones. This means that we have little idea of what these dinosaurs were like throughout much of their existence. \nCome and hear Dr Stephen Poropat from Swinburne University talk about his recent research on fossils including his work on digs in the Winton Area. This year’s excavations were some of the most successful to date! \n  \nPLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT THROUGH THE LIBRARY’S ONLINE REGISTRATION.  Please click here: \nhttps://www.monlib.vic.gov.au/Events/Event-Listing/Australias-Dinosaurs
