Ben and Brenton attend inaugural Science Meets Parliament WA event
Ben and Brenton attended WA’s inaugural Science Meets Parliament event. The event, delivered by Science and Technology Australia, was the first of its kind: science meets parliament has been run at the commonwealth level, but never before at the state level. The event was an excellent opportunity to network with other scientists, but also with parliamentarians and parliamentary staff. The overall intent of the event is to improve connections between the science community and the legislature. There was lots of discussion about impact and advocacy, and it was a rare occasion for both Ben and Brenton to turn up to work in jackets!
