Recent Australian earthquakes In the past 100,000 years, Australia has been hit by at least five large, landscape-changing earthquakes, a young Melbourne researcher has found. Each was at least 10 times as big as the 1989 Newcastle earthquake, which caused $1.5 billion damage. And he expects there to be more. Mark Quigley, from the University…
A new theory to explain the formation of the mountains of Western Europe will be unveiled in Melbourne today (Wednesday). Until now, geoscientists worked on the basis that mountain ranges such as the Alps were formed when the tectonic plates carrying Europe and Africa came into collision.
Forget meteorites. Bin volcanic eruptions. When it comes to mass extinction continental drift is the mega-killer, claims Australian palaeontologist Dr Malte Ebach.
You can find the list of 2021 Fresh Scientists here.
We’ve had a fantastic response to Fresh Science with 178 nominations from around the country. Thank you to everyone who applied.
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.
Events will run across the country in October and November in states where we secure the funding.
In 2021, events are confirmed for VIC, SA, NSW and QLD.
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.
Want to support the next generation of scientists and empower them to communicate about their research? Please get in touch! Sarah Brooker or Niall Byrne.

I never had so much confidence to go out in public and talk about my research and would have never done if I had not been part of this workshop. They were also very patient and explained the concepts so clearly. They have definitely been great initiators to take science to the society and have changed my view on science journalism for good. Thanks a lot for all the efforts and training.
