FameLab Science Communication Workshops
Early career researchers are invited to attend free training designed to build science communication skills, and learn how to bring your research to the FameLab stage.
Eligible FameLab contestants are able to join this session delivered by leading science communication experts Dr Merryn McKinnon and Dr Will Grant from the Australian National University’s Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.
The training programme will be a free workshop for eligible FameLab contestants in each participating state. This includes:
- researchers or post-doctoral fellows working in STEM within universities, research institutes, government bodies and industry who have completed a PhD within the last 5 years
- students who are currently undertaking MSci or PhD qualifications in STEM.
The science communication training is a workshop process based on improvisational theatre games underpinned by the latest research, providing a fun, highly interactive and engaging environment.
The National Training Delivery is a partnership with the Australian National University Centre for Public Awareness of Science.
Bricolage at Perth Festival
In this exhibition, bio-engineering has been used to create art. It explores the interaction of art and science through living and kinetic sculptures, created by cellular units. The installation was created by Nathan Thompson, Guy Ben-Ary and Sebastian Diecke, and is accompanied by experimental text written by author Josephine Wilson.
It’s on during Perth Festival, with Opening Night on Wednesday 5 February and then open daily from 5 February to 22 March at the Fremantle Arts Centre. Tickets are free.
