Science Meets Parliament Day One has wrapped! More than 400 STEM professionals packed into the Great Hall for a full day of career development and networking. And a milestone this year - more than 40 per cent of the parliament is involved.
The scene was set by Assistant Minister for Science, Technology and the Digital Economy Hon Dr Andrew Charlton MP and Shadow Minister for Science Aaron Violi MP. They opened the event, talking about the importance of the Ambitious Australia report and building trust with the public.
Their welcome flowed into the announcement of a new program by STA called Science Meets the Economy. The program aims to build leaders to bridge science and business, turning evidence into real-world impact.
In the session Denise Goldsworthy told us that risk language is a tool we can use to translate what is going on in the science space into finance, governance, health and safety - all the things that a board wants to know about.
Dr Steve Hatfield Dodds reminded us to recognise that a diversity of perspectives improves our overall ability to understand what we should do, and what the payoff matrix is from a particular decision or strategy.
