OzGrav PhD students are the heart of our Education & Outreach Programs. The Mission Gravity school program allows them to engage with high school students and guide them through activities designed to help them learn about stellar evolution, neutron stars, and black holes!
It has been an epic few weeks for the @ARC_OzGRav#MissionGravity Outreach program with visits to hundreds of students across schools in Metro and Regional Melbourne! Thanks to the @Swinburne@CASastrophysics PhD researchers for sharing your enthusiasm for all things space!
This Halloween, Swinburne University is hosting a free public lecture called “Spooktacular Space - Things That Go Bump in the Dark!” 🎃👻 Check it out and register here: https://t.co/hv9w1sEjD5 #scienceiseverywhere#3RRRFM#science
Zuzana Slavkovska and @L_J_Big of @ourANU enjoyed getting hands on with the mighty SABRE South vessel, currently located @Swinburne's Wantirna campus.
The scientists prepared the vessel for when it is located 1km underground.

OzGrav is advertising ten new postdoctoral positions in locations around Australia! Come join our world-class team exploring the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. https://t.co/5X9yMunbsD
Excited to be back at Stawell Seconday, running sessions as part of the @ARC_DMPP Regional Partner Schools Program!
Today, students in Years 8 & 9 learned how gravity can help to map the Dark Matter in the universe! Thanks to Han from @UniMelb for helping present!
Applications are now open for the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund for full/part-time graduates wishing to study towards a doctorate in physics from groups that are currently under-represented in physics. Find out more about the fund: https://t.co/cVGXfVVmdN
The @qdmroadtrip was a wonderful opportunity for researchers and students.
“I had good conversations with girls of different ages about their career dreams. This was really fulfilling," says @ARC_EQUS member Kerstin Beer.

It was a full house for the @ARC_DMPP Dark Matter session for students and teachers today as part of the It Takes a Spark Teacher and student workshop today in #Hobart!
One popular activity was the @CERN Mystery Boxes
So, this research is outside my usual bubble, but is something I’m incredibly passionate about: #ScienceEducation and #WomenInSTEM
We did a study and found a clear gender bias in senior high school science curricula across Australia.
