Loving the opening session of #DSTEM this morning.
Prof @debi_ashenden sharing the Japanese concept of “nemawashi” - quietly laying the foundations for change by talking to others and gathering support.
Preparation for collaboration is key and so important across #STEM research
The episode where I learnt that "dirt" is a four-letter word in the geology world, thanks to Chief Geoscientist Steve Hill!
A very interesting episode with some great scientists for #scienceweek - have a listen 🎙️

Today's adventures in MS Teams miscaptioning- "astrophysicist" came out as "restaurant physicist"! Maybe the restaurant at the end of the universe? Thoughts @spacejayk ?

Love telling young people about this Australian invention. A great story of inspiration and innovation! – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Happy Birthday to a #DefenceScience legend, David Warren, most notably remembered for his invention of the world’s first flight recorder; the ‘black box’. His innovation has contributed significantly to airline safety #gonebutnotforgotten #blackbox youtube.com/watch?v=FxMqU1mW…

It was a busy week last week, as my team hosted #DSTEM. An exciting conference, even in the virtual setting, showcasing STEM opportunities across all of Defence
This year's student conference looked a little different due to COVID, but that didn't stop our #DSTEM students from sharing their #DefenceScience placement experiences and learning how #science can be applied to solve real world problems bit.ly/3aEW9E4

Today's fun spelling mistake: accidentally inserted a "t" into the sentence "...and once we've all shared, it would be good to hear from you."
I'll let you guess where that "t" appeared...

It was such a pleasure to talk with Tess and Vanessa. Please have a listen and learn about this awesome program! – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Beautiful sci-comm with ppl with disabilities by @bjm123 on @FuzzyLogicSci
He let Tess speak, was happy for silent moments when needed, awaited nicely and permitted me to prompt when appropriate. And he never over-road her response.
This is how to do it sci - commers
