What's On at UWA

Learn more about the novel approach to correlative microscopy, in which a fluorescence microscope and a scanning electron microscope illuminate the same area of a sample at the same time enabling an understanding of cellular structure-function relations. Fluorescence microscopy is well known for its diversity and ability to label almost any biological relevant structure. One of the advantages is that one can simultaneously label different molecules with fluorophores that emit different colours. This makes it possible to study the functioning and interaction of many cellular processes.

The UWA three-day ConocoPhillips Science Experience is a wonderful opportunity for current year 9 and 10 students to participate in hands-on workshops, meet knowledgeable and enthusiastic scientists and current students, get to know others with an interest in STEM fields, experience what it’s like to be a university student, and discover the rich variety of careers that can come from having a degree in science or engineering. Activities include: • Phantastic Physics • The ‘Heart’ of Science • Rocks are too hard – let’s break something else… • Cosmic Conversations: Radio Astronomy and the SKA • Maths: Game Theory • The Magic of Chemistry show • The Society of Petroleum Engineers
