One final journey through the Universe, and a homecoming! Dr Karelle Siellez returns to Tasmania for the finale of Painting the Universe, exploring gravitational waves, kilonovae, art & music. 📅 1 Oct | UTAS 📍 Attend in person or online aip.org.au/event-6754144
Investing in basic research is the biggest gift to future generations, providing knowledge and tools to solve the biggest problems! Worldwide cuts is putting on breaks when we should be accelerating. We need public pressure to prioritize long-term solutions. It's amazing what we can do together 💚
🌌 The AIP's 2026 Marie Curie Lecture Series kicks off in Perth on 23–24 June with astrophysicist Dr Karelle Siellez (UTAS). Explore gravitational waves, cosmic collisions and the Universe through science and storytelling. aip.org.au/Women-in-Phy...
