Sustainability researchers reach Fresh Science finals
The finalists in the NSW Fresh Science competition have been announced, with 10 lucky early-career researchers set to learn how to communicate their science to the general public, media, government and industry.
The researchers will take part in a one-day workshop of media and presentation skills, to be held at the Australian Museum on 31 August. That evening, they will be presenting to the public at an informal event in a Sydney pub, where they have to describe their research in the time it takes for a sparkler to burn out.
Among the finalists are UNSW researchers Dr Sabrina Beckmann, who specialises in biogas production; and Dr Jessica Stanley, who will speak on the subject of future fuels. Other researchers will cover topics such as DNA repair; the language of touch; and cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The NSW Fresh Science event will be held in the Three Wise Monkeys Hotel on George Street. Tickets are free but registration is essential.
