Fresh Science

Today at ANSTO’s Discovery Centre at Lucas Heights, 14 of NSW’s future science leaders are participating in the NSW Fresh Science state final.

In total, 60 state finalists have been chosen competitively for their discovery and for the quality of their research.

Today, they will be trained in how to talk science to journalists, business and the public at a one day media and communication workshop.

And this evening, we’ll wrap up their training with a small networking reception where they’ll have one last challenge. Can they excite and inspire over a canapé?

The 2013 NSW state finalists are:

• Ummul Baneen, University of New South Wales
• Robin Beck, University of New South Wales
• Madleen Busse, University of Sydney
• Jessica Carilli, ANSTO
