Bridge8
Exploring how science informs our future
Exploring how science informs our future
We’re working on…
It’s our birthday! Bridge8 turned 9 in May 2013. Kristin and former staffer Sarah Keenihan enjoyed a little reflection…
The countdown is on for our next event for I’m a Scientist, Get Me out of Here! which starts Monday 11th March. We’ll be running an agriculture zone, an environment zone and a health/medical research zone. This event features the Chief Agricultural Scientist of Australia, Dr Kim Ritman and is supported by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, and TechNyou with the National Enabling Technologies Strategy.
We’re kicking off our first cohort for Science Media Space, a two-week online training course in social media for scientists. The course was developed with Econnect Communications and builds on tip videos created with the Australia Science Media Centre, funded by Inspiring Australia.
As 2012 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on a year of animations, I’m a Scientist events, strategic foresight workshops, online science communication, science writing, technology foresight, TEDx, #onsci and more. See our Year in Review and we wish you all a happy holiday season.
