Today at the conference of Australian Science Communicators, a panel—How can scientists in the media benefit the public good?—was hosted by Michael Hopkin of @ConversationAU. Panelists discussed the 'atomised' nature of the media landscape and a movement towards 'solutions journalism'. Panelists: Amanda Rider of @NatureCustom, @RamuSapkota of @NepaliTimes, and science journalist @WilsondaSilva. #ASC2024

Our observatory in WA has been gifted a Wajarri name! 📡 Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, CSIRO's Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory. This dual name means 'sharing sky and stars' and represents the Wajarri Yamaji's long connection to Country as the region's first astronomers. ⭐️

Meet Birliya, Bundara and Biyarli. ⭐ ASKAP has 36 antennas working together, and sits on the cutting edge of radio astronomy. Each antenna has its own Wajarri name to acknowledge the Wajarri Yamatji Country on which they operate. 🖤💛❤
