"My course was very hands-on, with multiple field trips as part of my studies."

Bree Elliott graduated from our Marine and Freshwater Science course.

"I also enjoyed a 'Work Integrated Learning Placement', working with a marine consulting employer. There, I was exposed to many aspects of the marine consulting industry, learning from the experience of professionals and gaining invaluable insights and advice not covered in textbooks."

That's a wrap on National Science Week for another year 🪲🔬🧪

From the seeds of science at Bunnings Joondalup with Currambine Primary School, to Deaf & Hard of Hearing students visiting our campus for a day of STEM workshops, and finally WA Museum Boola Bardip's Biggest Science Lab Ever!

As always, keep an eye on upcoming events we're running here: https://www.ecu.edu.au/schools/science/events-and-activities

Have you seen the Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo/Ngoolark courtship behaviour on our Joondalup campus yet? Males are wooing their partners through elaborate displays (like the song & tail spreading in this video), before choosing a deep hollow in a tree to lay their eggs.

The School of Science has installed artificial nesting tubes all over campus, as well as bird waterers called 'cockitroughs' to help ensure the survival of these endangered species.

Last Friday, our staff and postgrad students took part in a National Science Week brain break morning tea & quiz. We challenged everyone to bring science-themed food to share, and they did not disappoint!

Our judges were torn between the eventual joint winners of best food; PhD candidate Malmee made an intertidal zone diorama (featuring dolphins, seagrass, octopus, and crabs), and lab technician Nardia got creative with vegan cockroaches 🪳...

The quiz winners were Wombat Poo (Emily, Quinton, Lizzy, Sean, Anna, Jasmine) and science logo round winners were Mission Control (Susan, Shannon, Belinda, Paige, Yvonne, Steph).

You can do your own brain break at school or work, register here: https://www.scienceweek.net.au/brainbreak/
