From Mary Anning’s Jurassic fossil discoveries to Rosalind Franklin’s contribution to uncovering the structure of DNA, women have led significant contributions to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for centuries.

This National Science Week, dive into the profound revelations and accidental discoveries in the world of STEM with award-winning Australian environmentalist Tanya Ha.

Hear from co-founder of Women in STEMM Australia, Dr Marguerite Evans-Galea AM and doctor and author, Dr Preeya Alexander as we celebrate the women whose work has changed the way we think, as well as the times when the science didn’t exactly go to plan.

The evening will also include an opportunity to view rare books by and about women who made significant contributions in STEM, including a first edition of Institutions de Physique from key Enlightenment figure Émilie du Châtelet, and academic articles from Marie Curie and Laura Bassi, the first woman to receive a doctorate in science.

Doors will open from 6.30pm. Cheese boxes are available for pre-purchase with a ticket (not available for purchase on the night).
