#NationalScienceWeek
What are climate models, and who is behind the models that inform Australia's understanding of its own weather and climate? As #NationalScienceWeek draws to a close, we are launching a new animation that explains what climate models are and why we can't navigate a changing climate without them.

A highlight of National Science Week was the Dawul Wuru event, where seven local high schools rotated through hands-on activities and presentations from Far North Queensland partners. Here, Dr Mercy Singleton and Lucy Hughes chat with students at the CIEHF stand. #NationalScienceWeek #STEM

So I decided to plot the amount of human that has accumulated overtime, in terms of neutron star matter in millilitres

Because why not? 🤣

Make the plot here: shanikagalaudage.github.io/scicomm-outr...

(and yes, a tbsp in Australia is different; happy #NationalScienceWeek 🤣)

A fun #NationalScienceWeek visit to The Anglican School
Googong! 🧬🌿

I talked with Year 5 & 6 students about biodiversity, natural history collections and eDNA.

Then we headed outside and put airDNA sampling into practice! 🔬

Lots of excellent questions from some very enthusiastic young scientists.

Cultural knowledge + Western data on one canvas! 🖌️

That's the idea our recent intern Gullara McInnes and her mother Ann-Marie Keating had. The result: This incredible painting of biodiversity in their local area featuring occurrence data from the Atlas of Living Australia
