Having a great chat with @IBM about the future of Tech. They are using bots for image recognition technologies to identify melanomas early on 😍 how cool! @PauseFest #pause2019 #pausefest

NASA & CERN’s top scientists on how humans will colonise mars... the discussion kept coming back to capitalism & the unequal distribution of wealth as a fundamental problem we will need to change before setting up humanity to live on mars 🤔🌌☄️@PauseFest #pause2019 #pausefest

@drbuzzpalmer on what information is available for the consumer: “it’s just a matter of time before wearable technologies are able to look inside the body and detect problems before symptoms show up”

We’re separating fact from fiction in terms of the limits of space exploration @PauseFest

We had such a blast volunteering at the @LOrealAustralia Girls in Science Forum today! It was fantastic to show off some of the awesome science done at @unimelb to girls in high school (and hopefully some future Melbourne Uni science students!)

MYTH: you must be good at math to be good at coding. ➕➖✖➗

CORRECTION: #Programming involves a lot of #Googling, logic & trial-and-error... but almost nothing beyond 4th grade arithmetic. 👩‍💻🙌

[Dr Marguerite Evans-Galea AM @MVEG001]

Girls are already interested in STEM, studying STEM, engaging in STEM - we need to keep them in STEM so they can be our STEM leaders of tomorrow #APECwomeninSTEMM #womeninSTEMM

Practising the use of data collection (at a @codelikeagirlau event, of course!) to identify and pick valuable self-feedback out of negative imposter thoughts at Overcoming Imposter Syndrome 📈 @PrakritiMateti

[Sisters In Science @SistersInSci]

At the @codelikeagirlau event on Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, CEO Ally Watson talks about the power of visible female role models in tech to break down stereotypes of academic intelligence as a masculine trait - often established before the age of 6

[Science Gallery Melbourne @scigallerymel]

Read about some fascinating #womeninSTEM on our site! Mary Somerville, Mary Anning, Emily Warren Roebling and many others feature in our second anthology about women scientists, discoverers and inventors https://t.co/XTvF33Sv8e

Happy #AdaLovelaceDay everyone!! Let's celebrate women and girls in science on this day dedicated to the "enchantress of numbers" - whose achievements can be still be seen in modern computing today, over 200 years after she was born!

[Australian Space Agency @AusSpaceAgency]

Did you know: The driving distance from Sydney to Perth is about the same as the diameter of the moon – so every time you look up at the moon you’re looking at an object about the size of Australia! #WSW2018 📷@GeoscienceAus

[Sisters In Science @SistersInSci]

@codelikeagirlau this is SO exciting!! Great to see a value placed on diversity in not only gender, but also across backgrounds (Also, we're super jealous of that awesome pink trailer)
