We're surrounded by glass but do you know how important it is for science? Catch four scientists from @DefenceScience, @ANSTO, @CSIRO & our own Dr Sarlae McAlpine at 11am tomorrow, live from @questacon, exploring how important glass is to their science 👉 bit.ly/3QrI9jd
ALT 📷 Quartz is made of silica (SiO2). Quartz sand is the primary raw material used to make glass.

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 ?
