FameLab comes to NSW in one big night of science
10 April 2019
Our early career researchers tell their amazing science stories
FameLab is the world鈥檚 leading science communication competition to find and mentor young STEM researchers to share their stories with the world.
Hear some of the country鈥檚 brightest minds tell their science stories in just three minutes or less with props encouraged, no jargon, and no powerpoint.
Thirteen brilliant researchers take to the stage to deliver short and sharp tales of their work explaining why their work matters to the world in order to become the next FameLab champion.
Three Faculty of Science PhD students and one Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies PhD student from the 爆料王 have been selected as NSW finalists and will be competing on stage tonight.聽
Contestants are armed only with their wits and a few props to describe their research 鈥� the result is an unpredictable, enlightening and exciting way to encourage curiosity and find out about the latest research.
Join Dr Karl tonight as he hosts FameLab:
Venue: Powerhouse Museum
Date: 10 April 2019
Time: 6pm until 9pm
聽required for this free event.
Meet our semi-finalists
 | Genevieve Sergeant Topic: Fluorescent Probes for Phospholipids聽-聽Her research interests are the supramolecular sensing and binding of anions, specifically in developing peptide based fluorescent probes for use in sensing and sensing arrays for biological phosphate containing analytes. |
 | Debora Monego Topic: Interactions between nanoparticles聽- Her research in computational nanoscience, focuses on how the interactions between nanoparticles affect their solution stability and self-assembly. |
 | Marilena DeMayo Topic: Oxytocin for Autism聽- She is passionate about her research on children with autism, utilising neuroimaging to enhance characterisation of the disorder and treatment outcomes for those affected.聽 |
 | Jasleen Kaur Daljit Singh Topic: Targeted cancer therapy using DNA origami聽- She has a keen interest in the self-assembly of molecules at the nanoscale, in particular the self-assembly of DNA nanostructures.聽 |
