Learning opportunity for STEM superstars
Science and Technology Australia held a workshop in Sydney on 2 and 3 May for its Superstars of STEM program, a government-funded initiative to promote women and non-binary experts in science, technology, engineering and maths. Among this year’s cohort are Dr Kelsi Dodds and Dr Dhani Dharmaprani, both from the College of Medicine and Public Health. During the workshop, the two Flinders participants were given an opportunity to learn communication skills from two TEDx curators and visit the Google head office.
Larson Fellowship to help ambitious film project
Bryce Kraehenbuehl is the winner of this year’s Hanlon Larsen Screen Fellowship (HLSF), which provides prize money to assist in the creation and delivery of Bryce’s ambitious experimental screen-based project, Red Earth. For this, Bryce will travel to endangered ecosystems around South Australia and photograph them on Aerochrome, an extinct film stock, to showcase environments in a previously unseen way.
The HLSF was established in honour of the late Cole Larsen, a Flinders Screen Lecturer and is a collaboration between Flinders University, Mercury Cinema, Adelaide Film Festival and Light Studio. You can learn more about the Fellowship by clicking here.
