The wide range of subject areas in STEMM is matched with an equally vast range of different roles available in a career in STEMM, whether it be an astrophysicist, anaesthetist, nuclear engineer, nurse, coastal geomorphologist, statistician, botanist, data scientist, chemist, or an aerospace engineer. In this edition, we take a look at a small selection of the many different careers in STEMM fields.

Victoria is home to tens of thousands of native plant species, but as at June 2023, 1,618 of these are under threat of extinction in our state (FFG Act Threatened List, June 2023). As the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt, there is a risk that this number will rise unless we act. In this edition, we look at the value of our flora, how we can support ecosystems in a changing climate, and whether the European model of seasons is unsuited to our part of the world.
