E-meet a (Biomedical) Scientist 2020

From the lab to the classroom. Meet our experts talking all things biomedical sciences LIVE and ONLINE with high school students as part of National Science Week – 17 to 21 August 2020.

What better way to celebrate National Science Week than by connecting budding high school students with University of Melbourne biomedical scientists!

Through 15–30-minute video calls, our experts – many of whom are global leaders in their research field – will help inspire the next generation of scientists.

Students in Years 9–12 from across metropolitan, regional and rural schools are invited to ask questions about:

  • What it’s like to make a major scientific discovery
  • How it feels to change the course of a person’s health – and life
  • Which career pathways are best for young biomedical scientists
  • What are the latest technologies available in modern-day, cutting-edge science laboratories
  • Are there research trends, do’s and don’ts to be aware of
  • And much more.

The School of Biomedical Sciences will "match-make" experts with participating schools during the week of 17 to 21 August.
