Dark Matters
DARK MATTERS is an exhibition in collaboration with Arts at CERN – the arts programme of CERN, in Geneva – and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics. The exhibition aims to explore the fundamental essence of life and the universe, and how so much of it remains a mystery to us. Deep dive…

Hidden Cultures with Anthropologist Kirk Huffman
An estimated 150 million traditionally-oriented peoples still survive in pockets of today’s world, but the world usually pays little attention to them. They, their cultures, lands, waters and skies are increasingly under threat from logging and mining companies, modern agricultural expansion, water exploitation, conservation parks, enforced inappropriate education, enforced religious conversion, and more. But a…
Climate Solutions You Wish You Knew About
Join a panel of scientists whose research explores the world of plants and the intriguing ways to adapt to and tackle climate change. Four scientists will join us on stage to share the innovative ways in which plants can be part of the climate change solution. It’s a ‘hot’ topic and a great chance to…

Meet the Scientist Expo
Every year our school, Katherine South Primary School, holds a Meet the Scientist science expo. We highlight and explore a wide range of aspects of science, including technology, health, fossils, chemistry and biology. There is input and support from the wider Katherine community, as we have the local library, St John’s ambulance, Indigineous health services,…
Protecting Your Patch
This is the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. Most of us live near patches of habitat that need protection from predatory developers, feral animals, weeds, poor management, vandalism and climate change, etc. Typically, these are areas of bush, but a stretch of river, a lake, wetland, coastal strip, bay or island, etc. also qualify as…
