Women in Science Breakfast
2017-08-18 07:00 - 09:30 | Zeewijk Training Restaurant – Central Regional TAFE, 175 Fitzgerald Street, Geraldton, WA, 6530, Australia
Inspiration, networking and breakfast, with applied mathematician, physical chemist, and Associate Professor, Dr Rowena Ball.
Many of us think of Hydrogen Peroxide as the tool of hairdressers, but eminent scientist and mathematician, Dr Rowena Ball from the Australian National University understands it as the stuff that fuelled life out of the Primordial Soup on planet Earth.
Join Dr Ball this National Science Week, as she shares her story of how she became an expert on the origins of life and a passionate advocate for Indigenous scientific and engineering heritage and knowledge.

“My research is essentially interdisciplinary, and I have worked with physicists, engineers, and chemists on interesting problems such as combustion and explosives, magnetic fusion plasmas, and decarbonising fuels. The research I am currently leading is elucidating the origin of life on Earth! I am passionate about researching Indigenous sciences and engineering. It is a complete nonsense to say that us mob had no science.”
– Dr Ball

Join us on a mollusc survey of Western Australia! Come and learn why museum collections, taxonomy and diversity matter. Molluscs are incredibly diverse in form and function with different species occupying the tops of mountains as well as the bottom of deep sea trenches.
Join WA Museum scientists Dr Lisa Kirkendale and Corey Whisson on their survey work over the last several years to explore Western Australia… from a mollusc’s eye view! They will begin by defining the group before they plunge into the Kimberley and Pilbara, then surface in the south west and explore on land. Along the way, they will highlight new findings that are reshaping our understanding of biodiversity, biogeography and conservation priorities in this vast state across a multitude of different habitats. Hear about their latest work in Geraldton on native land snail conservation, and a significant recent donation to the WA Museum from the estate of the late Jon Singleton, a previous resident of the area.
