25.01.2022 A love of astrophysics - and etymology, has inspired a new beautifully illustrated children’s book by #MonashScience's Isobel Romero-Shaw, which unpacks the origins and meaning of ‘space words’. https://bit.ly/33eysOR

23.01.2022 Astronomy’s biggest impact on people often comes from the images that reframe life on Earth into something more profound. Unless, that is, you’re blind. Dr Nicolas Bonne, a vision-impaired astronomer and #MonashScience alumnus is working to reverse this exclusion. https://bit.ly/2HGscI5

22.01.2022 Listen! Monash Physics and Astronomy's Dr Jasmina Lazendic-Galloway spoke to Indira Naidoo, Nightlife about creativity in science, education and in tackling real-world issues. https://ab.co/2VtMN5X

21.01.2022 From December 7 to 11, Monash University Career Connect have arranged a week of specialised new workshops and industry panels designed to cover all facets of the job search journey that you will be facing when you graduate. Get your questions ready and reserve your place at one (or all!) of the panels, including ‘The Power of Mentorship’, ‘Network-athon’, ‘Quiz a Recruiter’, ‘Accessing the Hidden Job Market’, and ‘Entrepreneurship Strategies for Success’.

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Monash University scientist Dr Linda Croton who has been awarded the 2020 ANSTO Australian Synchrotron Stephen Wilkins Thesis Medal for her outstanding work using synchrotron-based X-ray phase contrast CT for in situ brain imaging. https://bit.ly/3pXdVIg

19.01.2022 "I have always been fascinated with the sciences, ever since I was little. I distinctly remember having an astronomy phase in primary school, reading every book I could find at the local library. As I grew up, the fascination waxed and waned but never faded away."

14.01.2022 Indigenous Australians' knowledge of the land has been undervalued by Western science. A number of Indigenous women and new courses, including our newest science unit, are aiming to change that. https://bit.ly/3neQAzy #changeit #NAIDOCWeek

14.01.2022 "What has been the highlight of my science degree so far? The essay I wrote in my second year Mathematics unit: ‘The Nature and Beauty of Mathematics’. It was about how maths is music and music is maths. It brought together my two great loves in the world and it was a joy to write." Discover Darcy’s story - https://bit.ly/3kTQ1d1 #HumansofMonash

13.01.2022 #ScienceSunday The image on the left shows a 20-day old mouse embryo tissue section, which has been stained with hematoxylin and eosin, a standard stain for visualising anatomical and pathological features under a microscope. The image on the right shows the same section recoded using a focal plane array (FPA) infrared imaging spectrometer. The FPA detector was originally developed as a heat seeking missile device for anti-FGM-148 Javelin missiles and when coupled to an i...nfrared microscope can record thousands of spectra per minute along with each spectrum’s spatial coordinates. A subset of ~30 spectra from each organ were used to train an AI neural network. Once trained, the neural network can identify similar spectra from the 100,000s in the image to ultimately generate a false-colour map showing the individual organs. : Callum Gassner, Ian Boundy and Bayden R.

13.01.2022 "From a young age I have always been curious about science, particularly biology. I loved learning about the natural environment where I could discover how things have come to be overtime. As someone who is passionate about environmental issues, I decided studying science would enable me to discover solutions to overcome them."

01.01.2022 #ScienceSunday Cassiopeia A is a supernova remnant in our Galaxy. The exploding star is believed to have lost its hydrogen envelope before the supernova. The usual explanation for such events is that the envelope must have been stripped off through interaction with another star in a close binary, but no such companion star has been found for Cassiopeia A despite careful searches. Monash scientists investigated the mystery and found the companion star could have exploded ...in a supernova first, and when it did so, the explosion could have ripped off the envelope of the star which eventually became Cassiopeia A. The companion was ejected from the binary before Cassiopeia A itself exploded. The image shows snapshots of the density of Cassiopeia A at different times (5, 31, 90 and 1099 days) after its companion (located above the star) exploded, creating a bow shock and ejecting most of this star’s hydrogen-rich envelope. : Hirai, Sato, Podsiadlowski, Vigna-Gomez and Mandel
