UWA Science Communication Friday Seminar
What do school field trips and fish welfare have in common?
They are both the subjects of science communication research. At this weeks'
seminar PhD students Sophia Bickford and Miriam Sullivan will present their
research proposals.
Maximising benefits of field trips and guest speakers in secondary science
education- Sophia Bickford
This research is motivated by a desire to help schools and informal science
institutions maximise the educational benefit of their collaboration. It
will involve case studies of Scitech and the Department of Environment and
Conservation programs, as well as a statewide survey of science teachers.
The welfare of aquarium fish: Current issues, possible solutions and public
implementation- Miriam Sullivan
How should scientists be communicating animal welfare issues? This research
project uses aquarium fish as a case study to examine the different
interpretations of animal welfare and if nature documentaries are really an
effective science communcation tool.
