CURING CANCER, STUDYING THE GALAXY & USING DNA TO SAVE AUSSIE MAMMALS: GALACTIC WOMEN'S DAY IN THE PUB

International Women’s Day, March 8, was only the beginning. Now March 26 has been proclaimed Galactic Women’s Day! *  What a great night to have Science in the Pub!

Come down to Smiths Alternative to hear women from across the galaxy talking about their research. There are cartoonists, stand up comics and professors, chatting about everything from the shape of the Milky Way to new cancer detection methods to marsupial chromosomes.

It’s a relaxed atmosphere, grab a beverage and a snack and settle in for a night of remarkable science. Kids are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
