What better way to celebrate National Science Week than by connecting budding high school students with University of Melbourne Biomedical Scientists, who work at the centre of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest biomedical precinct!
During 20- to 30-minute video calls, our experts – many of whom are global leaders in their research field – will inspire the next generation of Biomedical Scientists.
Students in Years 9–12 from across metropolitan, regional and rural schools are invited to ask questions about:
- What it’s like to make a major scientific discovery?
- How it feels to change the course of a person’s health – and life?
- Which career pathways are best for young Biomedical Scientists?
- What are the latest technologies available in modern-day, cutting-edge science laboratories?
- And much more.
The School of Biomedical Sciences will “match-make” our experts with participating schools prior to National Science Week so that meetings can take place between Monday 15 – Friday 19 August.
