The Australian Science Communicators National Conference was held at the Sydney Masonic Centre from 27 to 29 February. Opened with an address from Australia’s Chief Scientist, Professor Ian Chubb, the conference was three days filled with inspiring stories, intriguing ideas and vigorous discussion.
After the conference I caught up with Kylie Sturgess, Krystal Evans and Sarah Keenihan to get their thoughts.
