August 2024 - STEMM Throughout Victoria / National Science Week
Learning and applying scientific concepts isn’t confined to a high school class or a capital city – there are opportunities to engage with STEMM fields right across our state. This month, we look at the education, engagement, and application of STEMM in Victoria. Also in this edition, we celebrate National Science Week 2024 (10 - 18 August), and showcase some of the events on offer in-person and online.

With research predominately publicly funded in Australia, much of the work and study is focused on scientific advancement, publications, and securing grants – rather than ‘science’ as a commercial product or service. In this edition we look at the intersection of Science & Business, and some of the ways that science and scientists are succeeding in the market.
Victoria is home to a diverse range of environments, which vary based on factors like local climate, water availability, elevation, geology, geomorphology, soils, and others. In turn, these environments are home to different ecosystems, comprising all manner of life that have lived in these niches for centuries. This month, we take a look at some of these different ecosystems, and how we might value and protect them.
