AITHM celebrates National Science Week in Cairns
National Science Week was celebrated from the 19-23 August and for the first time ever, the launch of Queensland’s National Science Week program was held in Cairns by Queensland Chief Scientist Dr Geoff Garrett, who opened proceedings by performing an experiment onstage at The Tanks Arts Centre in Edge Hill.
AITHM researchers were involved in a number of science events that were open to the public across the week, including a collaboration between JCU parasitologists and artists resulting in a performance that combined dance, visual arts and multimedia to tell the story of some of the parasites that can threaten our quality of life in the tropics.
