Fresh Science

 

Fresh Science is on hold for 2022. We will be back in 2023.

Let us know if you want to receive updates about the program.

Fresh Science is a national competition and training program helping early-career researchers find and share their stories of discovery.

We take young researchers with no media experience and help them become media spokespeople for their science, and reach stakeholders in government and industry.

Fresh Science gives finalists a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training, a day of training in stakeholder engagement, and a public event in their home state.

Alumni of the program include Professor Allan Duffy and Dr Niraj Lal.

Read some of the fresh science we discovered in 2021 here.

Feedback and Testimonials

Comments from Fresh Scientists:

I never had so much confidence to go out in public and talk about my research and would have never done if I had not been part of this workshop. They were also very patient and explained the concepts so clearly. They have definitely been great initiators to take science to the society and have changed my view on science journalism for good. Thanks a lot for all the efforts and training.

I had the incredible chance to participate at the FreshScience workshop in Perth this year and I could not be happier with the organisation and the material provided. Very useful and great tips for science communication. Definitely, this will help me in my future career. Thanks a lot for the opportunity!

I participated in the Fresh Science media training program in 2017 and was the winner in Victoria. I am sincerely thankful to the team - Lydia, Sarah, Toni and Niall - for giving such excellent guidance on how to deal with the media coverage and how to present my work to the general audience. The exposure that we got in the training - meeting with several journalists from different media channels, rehearsing media interviews and pitching for funding - was excellent boost for me to think beyond my PhD.

The fresh science training was a hands on program. I truly enjoyed the training with actual journalists and stake holders.

I had been struggling for a while with how to explain my research to the general public and the fresh science training really helped me to come up with different angles for different audiences.

I truly enjoyed the pub test because I had the opportunity to talk about the importance of geology  to the general public.
