STEM in the Ocean with ANMM

From marine archaeology to how boats float and much more, there is so much to learn at the Australian National Maritime Museum. It's here where events such as Women in STEM provide a real drawcard to students to the sea! We chat with Mathew Sloane and Anna Gregory to learn what is on offer Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Mattew Sloan Matt has been a scientist and educator for 20 years in universities, research institutes and museums. He got a PhD in genetics in 2008 at Vienna University and has applied his research in the fields of cancer, epigenetics, evolutionary biology and wildlife conservation. This has involved fulfilling work like finding the cause of a person’s cancer and fun stuff like getting DNA out of wombat hair, chimpanzee poo and aphid eggs!  Matt completed a Bachelor of Teaching in 2014 and from 2016-2021 he worked in the education team at the Australian Museum.
