In life, we all experience ups and downs, and sometimes a simple check-in can make all the difference. Today, take a moment to ask someone, "R U OK?" It could be the conversation that helps them through a difficult time. Reaching out shows you care, and it's a reminder that no one has to go through tough times alone. Your question could change someone's day—or even their life. #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #CheckInWithEachOther Read more: https://zurl.co/GdW7

🌟 Empowering Future Physicists: Highlights from the Girls-Only Physics Event! 🌟 On August 27, an inspiring event for Year 10-12 girls from three public metro high schools took place at The University of Western Australia . The event, initiated by the Australian Institute of Physics (WA Chapter) and supported by EQUS, Girls in Engineering, @Quantum Girls and Einstein-First Projects, aimed to spark interest in physics among girls from under-resourced communities. 💫 Highlights of the Day: Inspiring Talks: Professor Susan Coppersmith discussed career opportunities in physics, and female physicists from EQUS and the Dark Matter Lab led demos on dark matter and quantum technologies. Interactive Sessions: Students participated in a 'meet and greet' with physicists, hands-on activities, and even tried out a real quantum computer! Positive Feedback: Attendees loved the event, especially the quantum computing and dark matter sessions. 📈 Moving Forward: We look forward to supporting more girls-only STEM events to empower the next generation of women scientists! Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this event! 🌠 #WomenInPhysics #STEMEducation #QuantumComputing #DarkMatter #FutureScientists #GirlsInSTEM

I am giving an online public lecture tonight about quantum technology and dark matter as part of the National Quantum and Dark Matter Road Trip for National Science Week! https://lnkd.in/gtymSrMF It's free, but you also have the option to donate to DeadlyScience - a fantastic organisation that provides STEM education to remote schools with a focus on Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander learners. #NationalScienceWeek #STEM ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics

In just a few days scientists and science communicators from across Australia will hit the road for the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip. The road trip will begin in Brisbane on Monday and arrive in Broome on August 18, with events at capital cities and regional centres throughout the month. We wish the road trippers a wonderful experience sharing their interest in science with communities across Australia: Kerstin Beer, Rakesh Kumar Saini and Varun Srivastava of Macquarie University Ben McAllister of Swinburne University of Technology Kristen Harley and Slim of The University of Queensland Anita Vecchies and Elisabetta Barberio of University of Melbourne Teehani Ralph, Will Campbell and Emma Paterson of The University of Western Australia Tim Newman, Ben Field, Xanthe Croot and Laura Manenti of University of Sydney Lachlan Rogers of University of Newcastle Haylea Purnell of University of Adelaide Visit https://lnkd.in/gdnRiVtq to learn about the public talks, pub trivia, demonstrations and other events planned throughout the road trip. If you're not located in one of the places we're visiting, you can come to you - for the first time this year, we're holding an online event so that we can reach more people than ever before.
