In its third year, the growing celebration of all things science and the only World Science Festival franchise outside of New York, WSF Brisbane promises to ignite debate and inspire discovery.
Running from March 21-25, WSF Brisbane focuses on the theme of ‘humanity’, and will see Griffith University experts in the thick of discussions delving into our deep past and speculating on how our species will survive an uncertain future.
Griffith will also play its part taking science to the street for fun activities designed to motivate budding scientists to pursue STEM careers, and so find the answers our vulnerable species and fragile planet needs.
Leading the university’s contingent will be Emeritus Professor Alan-Mackay Sim, last year’s Australian of the Year, who continues to inspire the next generation.
