#ICYMI: The "grand dame" (Royal Exhibition Building) is home to thousands of stories, says @michellesmuses. Particularly poignant today is the role the Exhibition Building played during the last major pandemic, the Spanish flu. Read more via @theage: fal.cn/3aPJi – at Melbourne, Victoria

"Why do perceptions of engineering matter? Well right now, about 1 in 10 engineers are women and it has been that way since 1990. And if engineers are designing our world, we need to make sure they consider and represent the people that live in it."

This #WorldEngineeringDay thank an engineer, or talk to a young person about what engineers actually do, so we can create a world that works and a world that works better. #WorldEngDay2020 @FelicityBriody @Swinburne bit.ly/2VH5KDi
