📺 Hear from IPRI PhD student @Eileen_Wallace_, who spoke to us about her research on regenerative tissue, why she decided to undertake postgraduate study and much more. Eileen is also a @UOW #3MT finalist and will compete at the finals this month.

😭 thank you for your kind words LA, they mean so much coming from you. I so agree, I feel like it’s only been in the last year or so that the lessons are starting to surface as they link up with current experiences. So much still to process, reflect on and learn from 💙
Rachelle Balez discusses the leadership initiative for #womaninscience called #HomewardBound - HB aims to develop an international network of 10K women in STEMM by 2036 to lead, influence & contribute to policy & decision-making across our planet.

An implant to deliver chemotherapy directly into the tumor of #pancreaticcancer patients. Congratulations to all the researchers involved at @Swinburne and Wollongong Uni @uowresearch
Researchers are hopeful of improving pancreatic cancer survival rates with a tiny device. The world-first prototype is the size of a grain of rice and inserted directly into a tumour to administer chemotherapy. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

Want to be a #citizenscientist?... "We have at least 5000 specimens of insect species in the Australian National Insect Collection at CSIRO. We’ve taken high-resolution photos of the specimens, now we need citizen scientists to transcribe the specimen labels."
We're calling for citizen scientists to help digitise specimens of flies, mayflies, caddisflies, bugs, butterflies and more! 🦋

Researchers @deakinresearch are investigating how to reduce #textile landfill & effluent discharge in waterways. They’ve found a way of turning waste cotton to cellulose fibres which can then be reused to make other fabrics. @deakinmedia #Textilewaste 1/3 bionicity.com.au/textile-was…
They can also create fine coloured powders from waste denim & apply the colour onto white fabrics, avoiding the traditional textile dyeing process known to be harmful to the #environment #circulareconomy #circularfashion 2/3 bionicity.com.au/textile-was…
While a QLD company @Blocktexx is building a chemical textile #recycling plant, to turn blended polyester & cotton fabrics back into their raw materials, addressing the vast amounts of #textilewaste heading for landfill. #environment #circulareconomy 3/3 bionicity.com.au/textile-was…
