Turbine trouble, matter measurement and space settlements

When Dr Shane is away… the show goes on as normal because it’s very well organised!

This week Chris KP and Dr Susi discussed how an acid in our blood helps determine the construction of our retinal cones, plus Dr Emma Bennett from School of Biological Sciences at Monash University shared her work looking at the impact of wind farms on micro-bats and other wildlife.

Michael Mews from the School of Physics, University of Melbourne, went deep into his subterranean experiments using sodium-Iodide with active background rejection to better understand dark matter. We also spoke to Rebecca Russell Saunders from Wesley College to tell us about her students designing space settlements at the University of Queensland, as part of the Australian Space Design Competition.
