17.01.2022 "Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly. But the bumble bee doesn't know it, so it goes on flying anyway." Although according to urban legend, scientists don’t know how bees fly, for Dr Christina McGraw, this was a curiosity that had only one answer: Put the bees in the fridge. The refrigeration knocked the little bees out, allowing Dr McGraw to paint dots on their wings to capture changes in lift pressure.... For someone like Dr Christina McGraw, merging tech with insects is just the beginning. Where could your future career take you? The possibilities are endless. Come and discover a future in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics at our free-for-all STEM Seminar. Dr McGraw is just one of many inspirational academics you can meet at the event. University of New England, Arts Lecture Theatre 1 September 3rd, 5.30pm [email protected]

05.01.2022 Imagine if somewhere, deep inside your brain, there lies the cure for cancer. Dr Nikola Bowden may well be on her way, as she works to develop diagnostic tests to predict how melanomas will respond to drug therapies. Her findings have already changed the way that doctors work to treat cancer! And all of her success comes from an idea that was dismissed by her superiors, who told her to "waste her own spare time" in pursuing it.... Don't let anyone keep your inquisitive mind from discovering great things. In the words of Dr Bowden, "Keep pushing and keep trying." Come and discover the possibilities of a career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics at our STEM Seminar. It's completely free! And Dr Bowden is just one of five guest speakers at the event. University of New England, Arts Lecture Theatre 1 September 3rd, 5.30pm [email protected]

04.01.2022 As a woman working in water management, Dr Tara Schalk is no stranger to breaking down barriers for equality. A phrase she hears frequently is Ah, our token female has arrived."

Her life has been filled with many adventures, from travelling to Japan to present an academic paper, to mountain bike riding around Australia. Plus, she's a terrific Mum to boot! What adventures await you in your futur...e careers? Have the courage to believe in yourself. Come experience a free seminar to learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics industries, and get to know people like Dr. Schalk who are living the career dream.

02.01.2022 So, what do you want to do when you grow up? Build underwater robots, of course. That's the life of Professor Tony Haymet, whose career pioneers breakthroughs in science to help us measure the consequences of climate change.... Professor Haymet has participated in raising money for the release of 3,800 robotic submarines into the world's oceans. These little guys float around for 10 days, two kilometres below the surface, to measure temperature and salinity, then rise to the surface to beam their data back to headquarters. And about 18 months ago, with his business partners, he bought one of the four companies that manufactures these robots. Then there are the prototype "immortal" machines, who simultaneously extract power from the temperature grading they measure. Essentially, they might be able to live forever as ocean robots. You'll be amazed how far a career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics could take you. Find out for yourself at UNE's free STEM Seminar, where you can meet Professor Haymet and many other brilliant people from different disciplines.
