Undersea volcanos unlock secrets of rich ore deposits
Posted in: 2000, VicResearchers in Monash University’s Australian Crustal Research Centre have made a discovery that could have important implications for pinpointing where to look for large deposits of metal. While the Earth’s crust had previously been thought to be the source of most metals, these new findings suggest that they in fact originate much deeper, in the…
Fresh Science
Fresh Science is a national competition helping early career researchers find, and then share, their stories of discovery.
The program takes up-and-coming researchers with no media experience and turns them into spokespeople for science, giving them a taste of life in the limelight, with a day of media training and a public event in their home state.

NEW closing time of midday Monday 2 August to allow for all the life delays caused by COVID-19.
Events will run across the country in October and November in states where we secure the funding.
In 2021, events are confirmed for VIC, NSW and QLD. We are still working on the final sponsorships to lock in events for SA and WA.
Nominations are open to all researchers from across Australia.
If your nomination is successful and we have not secured funding for an event in your home state, you will be invited to attend one of the other state events if you can cover your costs (we can help by writing to your DVCR). For VIC, NSW and QLD, ten researchers will be selected to participate in their state event.
Fresh Science is produced and run by Science in Public.
The Qld event is run by our friends and colleagues at Econnect Communication.
Stay up to date through our news bulletin for the science sector or follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn.
