Congratulations to our science communication students honoured last week at the ANU College of Health & Medicine and the College of Systems and Society annual Prizes, Awards & Scholarships Presentation Ceremony.
Throughout three weeks of September, members of the Science Circus Pacific team travelled to Fiji and Samoa to work with local partners to co-develop and co-deliver engaging STEM activities.
The lessons signpost the importance of ‘soft skills’ required for the development of effective knowledge exchange and indicate the need for a broad definition of knowledge exchange that allows for a flexible approach to meet the diverse and changing needs of research, policy and practice.
Science is great at solving problems, but research funding should also reflect the crucial contributions of other disciplines to that process, Merryn McKinnon writes.
