SUMMARY:Science Hall of Fame
DESCRIPTION:Write a poem about your chosen scientist for a Science Hall of Fame on the Science Rhymes website. Submit your rhyming verse poem by 31 July. \nChoose a scientist or science discovery you think is worthy of hanging in a Science Hall of Fame\, then write a rhyming verse poem on your chosen subject. \nBy the time this year’s National Science Week begins the Science Rhymes website will display a collection of rhyming verse poems about the scientists and science discoveries that have captured our imagination. \nYour poem could be about a historical scientist or natural philosopher like Archimedes from Greece; a milestone moment like Alexi Leonov’s first spacewalk for Russia\, or a superb scientific discovery like the first recorded Gravity Waves. \nThe Science Rhymes website has a free PDF download to help you on your way. More links and suggestions will be featured over the months leading up to National Science Week. \nPoems are to be submitted by email. Include your poem’s title & your name\, plus your town and school name (if appropriate). Earlier submissions (of 1-8 verses) are more likely to make it into the Science Hall of Fame. Published poems by children will be acknowledged by first name only (and school name where appropriate).

SUMMARY:UNSW Bragg Student Science Writing Prize
DESCRIPTION:Are you a writer in Years 7-10? Want to win great prizes? \nWrite a short essay on ‘Technology and Tomorrow’ and you could win a fantastic set of prizes\, including publication in Australia’s top science magazines\, a $500 UNSW Bookshop voucher\, a subscription to the Australian Book Review and a trip to the Bragg Prize award ceremony and launch of The Best Australian Science Writing 2018 in Sydney. \nBest of all\, every school will receive an entry prize! \n2018 theme:’Technology & Tomorrow’ \nTechnology has transformed many aspects of society in a short period of time – take the invention of the internet\, which only became widely used in the late 1990s\, and smartphones and tablets\, which took off in the late 2000s. In other ways\, some of the technologies predicted to be used in the 2020s are yet to appear\, like flying cars and personal robots. \nIn 800 words or less\, describe the impacts of a particular technology on society. You can look at a technology of the past (even ancient past)\, describe a technology in use today\, a new technology that is being developed\, or outline your predictions for the technology of the future. Your 800 word essay could consist of: \n\nA news story on technology that is being developed now and its predicted impacts.\nYour own ideas for new technologies that will need to be developed in the future.\nAn essay on what the impact of a particular technology is on different parts of society.\n\nEnter via the online form.

SUMMARY:Textual data sonification and algorithmic composition competition
DESCRIPTION:The Textual Data Sonification and Algorithmic Composition Competition challenges participants to write computer programs that translate text into data\, allocate data to specific sounds in the form of music notes (‘data sonification’)\, and then turn those notes into sheet music. The ultimate aim is to create a computer program that can use any text to generate a cappella vocal scores for soprano\, alto\, tenor and bass singers. \nThe competition will culminate with a vocal performance at RMIT University during National Science Week where winning and shortlisted entries will be demonstrated using text data provided by the audience\, and performed by singers with excellent sight reading skills. \nFurther details\, including competition rules\, are available online.

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
