If you’re keen to raise your (or your organisation’s) profile on social media, this is the session for you. Join us for a panel discussion with three scientists who have successfully used social media to build their profiles in science, and the profile of science in the community. They’ll share their tips on how they made it work for them, what to post on what channels, which audiences you can reach, and how to deal with the trolls. Date: Friday 11th of November, 2016 Time: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM AEDT Venue: The Royal Society of Victoria, 8 La Trobe Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000. This is a free event produced by Science in Public and supported by the Royal Society of Victoria. For more information and registration click here. The personalisation of healthcare is one of the biggest global drivers of innovation in medical technology and pharmaceuticals today. Advances in genomics have created opportunities to deliver patient specific information to tailor treatments to the individual in a way never before possible. The new ‘omics revolution is set to empower clinicians and patients to make informed decisions on care pathways – but how far have we progressed in terms of delivering on the promises of precise and personalised medicine? Date: Monday 7th November, 2016 Time: 7:30am for a networking breakfast followed by presentations until 9.00am Venue: The Royal Society of Victoria, 8 La Trobe St, Melbourne VIC 3000 All proceeds from this event go directly to fund Innovation Week 2016 Cost: $50 for Members and Non-Members Speakers: Professor Kathryn North, Director of the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and the David Danks Professor of Child Health Research at the University of Melbourne Associate Professor Ajeet Singh MD, CEO and Founder of CNSDose Video message from the Hon Greg Hunt, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science For more info and registration, click here About Innovation Week Innovation Week is an annual celebration of innovation in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) in Australia led by the Australian Science and Innovation Forum (ASIF) in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE). The goal of the week is to foster an innovation culture that values basic research, features the translation of discoveries, celebrates successful teams as well as emerging entrepreneurs and start-ups. The 4th MPG Post Doctoral Symposium combines an exciting program with outstanding invited speakers and young Victorian researchers covering the latest studies in a wide range of protein science. The conference is on 3 November 2016 at the Melbourne Brain Centre. The program for the 4th MPG POst Doctoral Symposium is now available online! Confirmed invited speakers include:

This event is organised by Nadine Brew and Lauren Giorgio and supported by the Australian Science & Innovation Forum.
"Description: Hosted as part of Innovation Week 2016, this event will explore the different options for commercialising discoveries in medical research. Commercialisation of university-based research is increasing in Australia and contention exists over whether forming a start-up company, or licensing to a more resourceful company, provides better outcomes for the inventor, the university and the economy. Our panel, with experience in venture capital, angel investing, start-up companies, industry and universities, will debate the merits and pitfalls encountered with each approach." When: Wed 9 November 2016 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM Where: Level 7, Monash University CBD, 271 Collins St, Melbourne, Victoria What: Innovation from the university sector – to spin out or license? by Nadine Brew and Lauren Giorgio Information and Registration: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/innovation-from-the-university-sector-to-spin-out-or-license-tickets-27618045317 The RACI Victorian Young Chemists Group is organising its second career development event, see their message below for more information.

"In the modern research landscape there is a spectrum of different methods of communication and publication available for sharing research outcomes and engaging with different audiences beyond traditional peer-reviewed journals. The panel brings together science communicators who utilise a range of different forums (blogging, social media, radio, exhibitions) to bring an interest and engagement with science to diverse audiences. Panellists will discuss their own experiences in science communication, as well as the value and impact of employing a range of methods of communication, and the skills that researchers need to enhance their outreach activities."
