Fresh Science

Saving riesling from climate change, matchmaking for city plants and insects, and using electronic gloves to transfer knowledge from surgeons to students—just a taste of the Fresh Science we’ll be exploring this year.

Thanks to all our university and museum partners around the country who ensure events run in their state.

Thank you also to our national partner, Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG), whose support enabled us to offer all 178 early-career researchers who applied a taste of Fresh Science with two free online communication forums.
