Best of Australian Science: November 2012
Follow
It’s the last day of November, my research project is getting into its final stage, and here I’m wrapping up this exciting month with plenty of wonderful science and technology stories, events, and new sci-blogging contributors. We have new female bloggers joining the Australian Science knowledge and sci-blogging community. The initiative I had in mind couple of weeks ago, to invite and encourage girls and women in science, technology, and education, is coming to fruition. We started a Women in Science section, encouraging young female scientists and bloggers to write, interact, and get their ideas and voice heard.
Also, we started the new initiative called Education Thursdays (hashtag #EducationThursdays) where teachers and curriculum leaders at different levels of education blog and write about their experiences and share their ideas on gender issues in science, STEM, participation, and engagement. I invite here, both students and teachers/educators, if interested, to write and join our team and, each Thursday, contribute and share with others.
Take a look at the wonderful stories and articles on neuroscience, space, genetics, biology, environment, astrobiology, cosmic evolution, physics, quantum mechanics, education, publishing, and technology. The best of Australian Science for November 2012:
