Science Week!
I know that formally it is not something I would usually blog about, but I just thought I'd mention it's Science Week and there's all kinds of stuff on.
Last night I went to a 'Fresh Science' thing at the Redback Hotel in North Melbourne. A whole bunch of young/beginner scientists had to explain their work, either:
- in the time it takes for a sparkler to burn down; or
- in Haiku or Limerick form.
I learned a lot about lungfish and their amazing vision (that was the fresh scientist at my table), but I also learned about cool stuff like the development of smarter sheep, chasing box jellyfish around the coast, fake eyes and even digging up rubbish for the carbon (!). I think they're doing some more stuff in Melbourne so keep an eye out. Or go to something else. Or something...! Website with all the events here.
