About the event
Join us for Science at the Shine Dome 2016
In May each year, Australia’s foremost physical and biological scientists gather to honour outstanding work in science. At Science at the Shine Dome, national awards are made, high achievers are admitted to Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science, and there is a high-powered symposium on an issue of national importance. In addition, the meeting aims to enthuse and educate young researchers.
This highlight of the annual science calendar in Australia will be held on 24–26 May 2016 at the unique National Heritage-listed Shine Dome in Canberra, which has been strongly associated with science in Australia since it was built in 1959. The three-day program of Science at the Shine Dome is live-streamed on the web, communicated through Twitter and Facebook, and covered by online and traditional news media outlets, allowing an unlimited audience to participate.
HUMAN PLUS SYMPOSIUM
Prosthetics have come a long way. A far cry from early steel and wooden limbs, the enhanced human now boasts anything from integrated soft robotics to manufactured hearts, printed bones, and artificial limbs controlled by brain signals. Bionic hearing has already enhanced the lives of millions, and bionic sight is in development around the globe. From clever bionics to the socio-ethics of human enhancement, join Australia’s giants of science in 2016 to explore how human is becoming human PLUS.
