SUMMARY:Spinning Yarns
DESCRIPTION:  \nIntrospection is something of a feature of our lives in 2020; never mind the trajectory of the global pandemic and the fate of the planet\, how did we each\, individually start out from our distant personal origins to arrive at this curious point in time and space? So we’ve asked four scholars\, scientists and seekers of a better world: What’s keeping you off the streets\, and up at night? \nThe unsurprising answer is that a life of enquiry is never short of things to do! Throughout Victoria’s 2020 pandemic lockdowns\, our speakers have dauntlessly continued their labours\, producing scientific research and products for the public good\, campaigning for a brighter future informed by scientific knowledge\, or dutifully preserving the beautiful legacy of scientific instrumentation from earlier times\, holding something of the story of long-gone people rising to the challenges of their own times. \nJoin us for four\, short presentations from four very different Councillors of the Royal Society of Victoria\, variously taking us through earlier times\, their passion projects of today and concerns for tomorrow. \nSpeakers:\n \nFunction\, Precision and Beauty: Finding and Preserving the Instruments of Ludwig Oertling – Mrs Nicola Williams\nI was a lecturer in chemistry at Monash in the 1980s\, during the time when university governance was changing from a collegial to a business model. One result was that anything that didn’t earn money was considered not worth keeping\, and this included old instruments and glassware. I’d been interested in historical instruments for some years\, so I began to collect the instruments which were being thrown out ‘as the space was needed.’ \n  \n \nThere and Back Again: My Roundabout Path to Seasonal Prediction (and why I love it) – Dr Catherine de Burgh-Day\nMy academic education started with a desire to study Meteorology\, culminated in a PhD in Astrophysics\, and then led to me working at the Bureau of Meteorology. It may seem like it was a bit of a detour\, but I wouldn’t have it any other way\, and it turns out Astrophysics and Seasonal prediction have a lot in common! I’m going to give you a brief history of my still-short career\, and also tell you about what I work on now: Everything to do with predicting the conditions in the upcoming weeks and seasons\, from developing the models and science through to talking to farmers about what they need to know on the ground. I hope that by the end of this you’ll see why every change in direction I took along the way is one I am glad I did\, and each one taught me things I bring to the table at the BoM every day. \n \nWhat Keeps Me Up at Night – Mr Rob Gell\nFamiliar to many as a television presenter of Victoria’s weather for many years\, Rob is today a director of three companies working to deliver positive sustainability outcomes. They are all exploring new technology opportunities in environmental monitoring\, energy management and water conservation: Attentis® has developed Australia’s first real-time integrated environmental sensor network operating at regional scale; ReThink Sustainability offers range of sustainability advisory services\, particularly in energy efficiency and management; and Circular Things has developed the Eco Water Wall\, an innovative water tank design. \n \nLoose Ends\, and Going Round in Circles: A Life [Good] in Medical Research – Professor David Walker\nProfessor David Walker is a physiologist with a long interest in fetal and neonatal development. His research has become centred on perinatal brain damage and the causes of cerebral palsy. Previously situated with the Hudson Institute and now working with RMIT’s School of Health and Biomedical Sciences\, David’s major research questions are around the basic chemical energy system employed by all body cells. \nA part of the RSV’s 2020 contribution to the Inspiring Victoria program. The webinar will be livestreamed via the Society’s Facebook site – please tune in at the allotted time to join proceedings and contribute your questions and comments.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Stupidity? Diversity\, Inclusion and AI
DESCRIPTION:The advent of Artificial Intelligence came with promises to overcome the human limitations of speed\, processing and information storage\, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for how we live and how we work. However\, AI has yet to deliver on those promises and now faces ethical and moral dilemmas never encountered before. With COVID-19 now shaking the fabric of every society without discrimination on the basis of gender\, race or faith\, the world has become even more reliant on technology and data for sustaining the social order. We now compensate for social distancing with virtual connections and Zoom’s boxes have replaced human interactions as the COVID-19 normal. \nMeanwhile\, the history of our global civilisation is marked by racial\, gender and economic divides. A product of human intelligence\, Artificial Intelligence has been shown to exacerbate our human biases. It is time to re-evaluate our increasing dependence on technology and AI and question what it means for diversity and inclusion. Join Dr Muneera Bano on a time travelling journey; exploring how our decisions in the present\, based on our experiences of the past\, are critical for the future directions of humanity and AI. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr Muneera Bano is a Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering at Deakin University. She specialises in the field of socio-technical domains of software engineering\, focusing on human-centred technologies. Muneera works at the intersection between computers and humans – looking for ways to engineer technology to work better with the people that use it. Her research interests include requirements engineering\, service orientation\, sentiment analysis and evidence-based software engineering. \nA passionate advocate for women in STEM\, Muneera Bano was announced as the Most Influential Asian-Australian Under 40 in 2019. A ‘Superstar of STEM and member of the Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion committee for Science and Technology Australia\, Muneera has a strong commitment to smash society’s gender and cultural assumptions about scientists. She is the Go Girl\, Go For IT 2020 Ambassador with the aim to inspire the next generation of girls in STEM careers. \n A part of the RSV’s 2020 contribution to the Inspiring Victoria program. The webinar will be livestreamed via the Society’s Facebook site – please tune in at the allotted time to join proceedings and contribute your questions and comments.

SUMMARY:Our Resilient Future - Water\, Agriculture & Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Enormous changes and transitions are already upon us\, and we find ourselves unprepared. This summer’s devastating bushfires and the unprecedented disruption to industries and the business of government here in Victoria during the COVID-19 pandemic have given us a disquieting insight to the sustained uncertainty we’ll be facing under a rapidly changing climate in the decades to come. Under these new conditions\, referring to what happened in the past will be unhelpful in predicting the future. One thing is clear: policy\, operational\, regulatory\, investment\, management and other decisions will be made under increasingly ambiguous conditions\, and integration will be needed across all sectors and levels of our society to set us on a preferred climate path and prepare us for the outcomes we can no longer avoid. \nThe scale of environmental\, economic and cultural transformation required is immense; a seriously intimidating scope of change for planners and policy makers to even approach\, let alone implement. Yet short-term\, incremental changes can only help us to “cope” (until we can’t)\, rather than flourish. How do we enable our communities and industries to transform? How do we build agency for regional communities to drive a self-determining transformation over these long time-scales when the state-based decision-making and economic reality is itself so changeable? \nIt seems impossible\, but there are success stories we can learn and build from. We propose that we can’t plan for an uncertain future if we’re not prepared to take a systems perspective and focus on resilience. Join us for a series of six-minute presentations across the disciplines that consider the formation of localised resilience strategies for regional Victoria\, drawing on the experience and unique challenges of the Goulburn Murray region as a case study. We will look at the challenges and changes ahead for the agricultural sector\, the persistence and survival of our biodiversity\, and the interactions of these in a near future projected to feature less water from annual rainfall across our state\, with related drying conditions\, heat waves\, extended fire seasons and the increasing likelihood of a rolling\, resource intensive emergency management campaign that will reduce our society’s capacity to be proactive. \nPresentations:\n A Place-Based Approach: The Goulburn-Murray Resilience Strategy\nDavid McKenzie\, Chair\, Goulburn Regional Partnership\nClaire Flanagan-Smith\, Principal\, Community & Strategy\, RM Consulting Group \nClimate Change & Systems Transformation\nAssociate Professor Lauren Rickards\, Centre for Urban Research\, RMIT University \nPreparing for Biodiversity Decision Making\nProfessor Brendan Wintle\, School of Biosciences\, The University of Melbourne \n\nAgricultural Transitions\nProfessor Richard Eckard\, Director of Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre\, The University of Melbourne \nPreparing for the Transition of the Water Sector\nDr Briony Rogers\, Director of MSDI Water\, Monash Sustainable Development Institute \n\nBuilding Community Agency\nProfessor Sarah Bekessy\, Centre for Urban Research\, RMIT University \nWe will be joined by some of our speakers during the meeting to further discuss their work and potential for application in service of transformational initiatives in the State of Victoria. \nA part of the Possible Impossibles program for National Science Week. \nIn light of COVID-19 restrictions\, this meeting will be conducted online as a Zoom webinar\, with presentations pre-filmed and speakers answering questions from RSV members and guests in the webinar (invitations to register are sent via email and also listed on the Society’s membership page). The webinar will be livestreamed via the Society’s Facebook site – please tune in at the allotted time to follow the proceedings and add your questions and comments.

SUMMARY:Walrus of Peace
DESCRIPTION:Is ochre the new spray paint? \nWalrus of Peace investigates a non-toxic\, environmentally friendly\, recyclable\, alternative set of materials for temporary street art installations. \nBendigo Artists Inc (Australia)\nStreet art is a popular form of creative expression\, but it has lots of environmental and ethical issues. The paints and acetate used are pretty harsh on the artists and the environment. \nThe Walrus of Peace project\, by a collective of Bendigo artists\, investigates a non-toxic\, environmentally friendly\, recyclable\, alternative set of materials for temporary street art installations. The materials include ceramic slip (aka mud)\, ochres\, natural pigments and natural binders (wax\, resins and oils). \nThe technique dates back 35 000 years and has been used to create rock paintings across the country. Walrus of Peace shows how we can incorporate ancient knowledge into contemporary practice to help move towards a more sustainable future. \nOutdoor installation\, accessible everyday at all times.

SUMMARY:Are you taking the piss?
DESCRIPTION:Join a brilliant panel who won’t shy away from the yuck-factor to find innovative solutions to our over consumption of… everything. \nWould you break the law to save the world? We’re living in a world of finite resources\, yet there are laws in place preventing us from using these resources wisely. Join us as we lift the lid on barriers preventing our transformation towards real sustainability. Innovation moves so fast that rules and regulations can’t possibly keep up\, often leaving scientists/engineers/businesses on the wrong side of the law. \nIn Australia\, we throw away over one million tonnes of water per day. Just wow. And don’t even get us started on the other things we flush down the drain that could be used for the power of good. Hint: we are literally flushing a powerful wee-source! We need to be inventive\, creative and brave with what we have and how we use it. \nWho has a say in shaping our streets and cities? When is waste valuable again? Is a sharing economy the answer to all our problems?

SUMMARY:Pollution Pods
DESCRIPTION:Michael Pinsky’s interactive and eye-opening artwork\, enables audiences to experience differing air qualities amongst the world’s least and most polluted cities. \nHow clean is our air? \nExperience some of the most polluted cities in the world from the safety of these glorious and sustainably made pods. \nYour journey starts in a pod recreating the pristine environment of Tautra\, a remote Norwegian island. Enjoy breathing in that clean-smelling air\, and steel yourself to continue through to the pods with some of the lowest air quality in the world: London\, New Delhi\, Beijing and São Paulo. \nEach pod safely *simulates* the polluted environments of these cities rather than exposing you to the serious levels of ozone\, nitrogen dioxide\, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide that their occupants breathe in every day. \nAre you ready to take a whiff of the smog of London or Beijing? And how does Melbourne compare?Visit the EPA (Environment Protection Authority) AirWatch to find out more. \nPresented in partnership with White Night Melbourne and the EPA. \nTreasury Gardens \n22 August – 1 September \n\n22–23 August open 7pm–midnight\, as part of White Night Melbourne Reimagined\n24 August open 7pm–2am\, as part of White Night Melbourne Reimagined\n25 August – CLOSED\n26 August–28 August open 11am–6pm\n29–30 August open 11am–8pm\n1 September open 11am–6pm\n\nMichael Pinsky will also give the Hugh Williamson Lecture

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.
