SUMMARY:Science involved in culture - TOOTHPASTETREES
DESCRIPTION:A laboratory style experimental setup of a steam distillation unit showcasing the live process of eucalyptus oil extraction. The audience can engage through their senses of sight\, smell and touch and get actively involved in the discussion. \nThis unique science show exhibits the enthusiasm and creativity of an environmental scientist who is passionate about sustainability from a unique cultural perspective. It shares the story of the journey to Australia and culture as well as the science behind a very common practice that we all do to look after ourselves: teeth cleaning. \nMiswak\, a natural form of toothbrush used in Middle Eastern countries\, is made from the tender roots and stems of a variety of trees including neem and eucalyptus and is reputed for its antibacterial and medicinal properties. This ancient cultural practice uses twig brush (Miswak) to brush teeth\, as an alternative to toothbrushes and paste. Interspaced with photographs of beautiful trees and significant buildings from the home country of India\, I will demonstrate the scientific process of extracting oil from eucalyptus leaves\, which are used in Australia for Miswak. There are over 180 other trees which can be used for this purpose. \nThe Miswak is a fascinating cultural and scientific subject as it combines a cultural practice with scientific knowledge. Miswak has more than 70 benefits to our health more than half of which are proven scientifically through research: strengthens memory\, improves eyesight\, assists digestion\,  cures headaches\, strengthens gums\, prevents tooth decay and eliminates bad odour. Miswak has a  long and well documented history dating back some 3500 years ago. Apart from Islam\, the use of Miswak in other cultures is also well known. The Babylonians and the Romans quite extensively used it. \n

SUMMARY:Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate
DESCRIPTION:Humans are worth saving…? \nSci Fight Science Comedy Debate is partnering with Science Gallery Melbourne to ask the question\, are we a disposable species? The 20th century has seen humanity’s focused dedication on the creation of inbuilt obsolescence\, of single use everything\, why should it not apply to the whole human race as well? We turned liquid dinosaur juice into fuel for our cars\, we took perfectly happy and inert carbon and flung it into the atmosphere\, and we built an entire economy on moving bits of plastic from one place to another\, and then back again in the name of recycling. Which then mostly went into landfill. Well\, the land is very full now and we’ve not yet got around to locating a Planet B. No one has put their hand up and said that they’re willing to forego pasta and start eating plastic. When oil is down to its last drop\, should humanity just go with it? To be outlived by the coffee cups and disposable nappies we brought into existence. \nOr is that the attitude of quitters? This new wave of ecological chaos isn’t humanity’s first run in with adversity. Remember the bubonic plague? Well that wasn’t the barrel of laughs we hoped for. But we got through it. Remember Nuclear Winter? We seemed to have more or less postponed that. Then there was the K2 bug. If anything\, we’re getting better at this crisis business. Plus\, this time round we’ve got all these coffee cups and nappies to use for something or other. As the most intelligent\, creative\, and adaptable species Earth has yet seen\, is the solution to our ever increasing waste problem just around the corner? It’d be a shame to quit before we got there. Humans might just be worth saving. \nCome grab a bite and a beverage at Howler and find out if we’re a single use species. Maybe decline a straw while you’re at it.

SUMMARY:Hugh Williamson Lecture: Michael Pinsky
DESCRIPTION:Buy less\, bin less: the culture of consuming \nThings are cheap. Space is expensive. Large private art galleries exhibiting a few select artworks epitomise the contemporary expression of wealth. However\, behind this minimalism lies a world of waste. \nMichael Pinsky envisions his art as a service rather than a product. His interests lie in the public and public space rather than with the private collector and the private gallery. Wherever possible he seeks to reuse\, recycle and adapt to create his installations using local materials\, knowledge and labour. Michael Pinsky will present his journey as an artist and activist\, suggesting that art can play a critical role in changing people’s lives and challenging the capitalist narrative that unfettered economic growth is the global panacea.

SUMMARY:The Alchemist: Turning waste into wealth
DESCRIPTION:Discover how Professor Veena Sahajwalla is repurposing the fundamental molecules and elements within post-consumer waste products to revolutionise recycling science. \nProfessor Veena Sahajwalla is revolutionising recycling science. She approaches our growing waste problem as a commercial opportunity with real market value to help drive behaviour change. Last year her SMaRT centre opened the world’s first e-waste micro-factory to process old computers\, phones\, televisions\, and all the electronic junk that ends up in landfill. The waste is sorted and dismantled by robots\, then mined for its precious elements. Circuit boards are stripped of metals such as gold\, copper and tin\, while glass and plastic are converted to industrial-grade ceramics and plastic filaments for use in 3D printing. \nJoin Veena to explore how repurposing the fundamental molecules and elements within post-consumer waste products is reinventing the way we treat – and perceive – these largely untapped commodities. \nPresented by the Royal Society of Victoria in partnership with the Banyule-Nillumbik Tech School.

SUMMARY:The Alchemist: Turning Waste into Wealth
DESCRIPTION:A National Science Week Event\nSpeaker: ARC Laureate Professor Veena Sahajwalla\nFounding Director\, Centre for Sustainable Materials Research & Technology\, The University of New South Wales\nProfessor Veena Sahajwalla is revolutionising recycling science. \nAustralia is not alone in facing the global waste crisis threatening ecological systems on land\, waterways and ocean. Rather than take up arms against a sea of big polluters\, Professor Sahajwalla approaches the problem as a commercial opportunity with real market value to help drive behaviour change. Last year her SMaRT centre opened the world’s first e-waste micro-factory to process old computers\, phones\, televisions\, and all the electronic junk that ends up in landfill. The waste is sorted and dismantled by robots\, then mined for its precious elements. Circuit boards are stripped of metals such as gold\, copper and tin\, while glass and plastic are converted to industrial-grade ceramics and plastic filaments for use in 3D printing. \nAustralian steel makers have already commercialised her groundbreaking invention known as Green Steel\, which uses the carbon in old car tyres to replace coking coal in steel ­production. Her technology has been patented and exported around the world\, used in the ­production of more than 30 million tonnes of steel. \nJoin us to explore how repurposing the fundamental molecules and elements within post-consumer waste products is reinventing the way we treat – and perceive – these largely untapped commodities. \nPresented by the Royal Society of Victoria in partnership with the Banyule-Nillumbik Tech School. \nAbout the speaker:\n \nAustralian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Professor Veena Sahajwalla is an internationally recognised materials scientist\, engineer and inventor revolutionising recycling science. She is renowned for pioneering the high temperature transformation of waste in the production of a new generation of ‘green materials.’ In 2018 Veena launched the world’s first e-waste microfactory. As the founding Director of the Centre for Sustainable Materials Research and Technology (SMaRT) at the University of New South Wales\, Sydney\, she is producing a new generation of green materials and products made entirely\, or primarily\, from waste. Veena also heads the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub for ‘green manufacturing’\, a leading national research centre that works in collaboration with industry to ensure new recycling science is translated into real world environmental and economic benefits. \n \n\nIn 2018 she was elected as Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. In 2016\, Veena was named one of Australia’s Most Innovative Engineers and in 2015\, Veena named Australia’s 100 Most Influential Engineers\, both by Engineers Australia. In 2013\, Veena received the ‘Howe Memorial Lecture Award’\, Pittsburgh\, USA in appreciation for her lecture on ‘The Power of Steelmaking – harnessing high temperature reactions to transform waste into raw material resources’. \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Taking our garden bugs to the Moon\, Mars\, and beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Thompson on an interactive talk and exploration of taking bugs into space to help us live on the Moon and Mars. In 2003 Prof Thompson flew spiders and fruit flies on the NASA Space Shuttle in an experiment to see if bugs had the right stuff to help us live in space. On show will be samples of the experiments and space flown plants and seeds that were used to find out what sort of greenhouse plants an astronaut would be able to grow on Mars. \nFind out how is science used to find out which bug should be taken to Mars. What are the challenges preventing us from going to Moon or Mars today? Find out why are everyday garden insects important to our survival on the Moon and Mars? Learn how you can contribute to space research in your own garden.

SUMMARY:Spit for Science and Gut Feelings Spot Talks
DESCRIPTION:Museums Victoria is creating a world first live microbe map …. and we’re inviting you to spit for science! \nAre you a cat or a dog person? A coffee drinker? Vegan? We want to know because recent research shows the mix of helpful microorganisms in your gut is affected by your lifestyle choices… but how? And Melbourne is the allergy capital of the world\, do we have a unique microbe fingerprint that’s talking to our immune systems? \nTo investigate these questions and more we are creating a digital microbe map of Victoria\, and taking a sample from one end of the gut\, the mouth. \nHere\, microbes in saliva donated by you/visitors are being analysed by the University of Melbourne for this cutting-edge research. In the process\, Melbourne Museum is creating a digital installation—growing with new data each month. Results so far are already on display at the front of the Gut Feelings exhibition. \nThe sample is a snapshot in time so the experience is not diagnostic\, no individual data will be displayed or given to you—we want to consider gut health as a community. The museum display also focuses on variables within your control\, empowering you to consider how your choices effect your gut (and so body/mind) health. You can improve your microbiome in as little as 24hrs simply by relaxing or eating well today. \nCome and spit for science and meet the science experts who created the incredible GUT FEELINGS EXHIBITION in the space all day for spot talks and a celebration of all things guts. \nDrop in – free with Museum entry.
