The Aims of the In2science Program 11 Growths and statistics 12 Stakeholder Perspectives 15 Feedback Survey Results 15 Management Structure 21 Discussion & Futures 24 Appendix A – In2science Board Members 26 Appendix B – Academic Publications about and resulting from In2science 7 2 Appendix C – List of participating schools 28 Appendix D – Regional Roadshows 32 Appendix E – Resources 34 Appendix F – Award winners 35 3 4 Executive Summary This report looks back on the In2science program, its inception, growth, achievements and the challenges faced along the way. Over the last 9 years In2science has been the outstanding peer mentoring program in supporting science education in Australia, and has played a critical role in addressing the decline of secondary school science participation in STEM subjects. The In2science program has been a genuine partnership, with multiple universities and schools working together to improve enthusiasm and outcomes in the middle years of science and maths education. Over the duration of the program more than 50,000 students have enjoyed a different science experience thanks to the efforts of 1,900 Mentor volunteers. Feedback about the program has been overwhelmingly positive. The full impact of the program in terms of increased uptake of science courses and the secondary or tertiary level cannot be assessed accurately, but is substantial. The In2science program faced enormous challenges, not least of which was its own spectacular growth.

The public lectures where the findings of one of our big research projects, Life Ways of the First Australians , were presented gave new information about the people living in the southern Kimberley 40,000 – 50,000 years ago. The lectures were presented around Australia and were well attended. It was particularly interesting to learn that a ground edge stone axe was developed in Australia well before there is evidence of this technological advance anywhere else in the world. As one research project came to an end excitement mounted around the Dating Project with a pre-season sample gathering expedition into Freshwater Cove in the N W Kimberley. This work was done in collaboration with the Dambimangari Traditional Owners with more to come in the Drysdale National Park this year with the Balanggarra people. Kim Akerman’s long awaited, learned paper on Wanjina culture was posted on the KFA website.

Brantley At the Melbourne Goldschmidt Conference, the GS teamed with Kerstin Lehnert and the group from EarthChem← as well as William McDonough to foster a Town Hall meeting to discuss issues of data storage and sharing for geochemistry. This Town Hall meeting, as well as efforts by the GERM group and many others have led the GS to establish an ad hoc committee to discuss questions relevant to data and databases for geochemists. The ad hoc committee (Vince Salters, chair, Liane Benning, Jim Kubicki, Jerome Gaillardet, Bernard Marty) will be reporting to the GS Board at the Cologne Goldschmidt meeting. Given this ongoing discussion, I thought it would be useful here to summarize the data policy of the GS and the data policy of the Earth Sciences Division of the U.S. National Science Foundation. The data policy of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta is briefly stated: Geochimica requests authors to publish all data (not previously published) which is referenced or otherwise used in a paper.

  • Kimberlites: the Only Volcanic Deposits We Know to Have Come from Earth's Deep Mantle 26 September 2019, by Professor Jon Woodhead and Professor Janet Hergt
    Kimberlites: The only volcanic deposits we know to have come from Earth's deep mantle 26 September 2019, by Professor Jon Woodhead and Professor Janet Hergt our planet's core from the silicate component which makes up most of the Earth's crust and mantle. Now, new University of Melbourne research is shedding some light on this puzzle using kimberlites—an igneous rock. These unusual magmas are the primary source of one of our most treasured commodities—diamonds. They are the only volcanic deposits we know to have come from Earth's deep mantle and they provide a fascinating glimpse into our planet's formation.

  • Geology of the Strathbogie Granite
    Geology of the Strathbogie granite NAturE OF THE projEct, upDATE OF RECENT FIELD MAppING, AND FuturE PLANS • A public lecture and discussion led by Neil Phillips • Universities of Melbourne and Stellenbosch RSA A major research project in the Strathbogie Ranges is built around collaboration between Professor John Clemens, Professor Neil Phillips, and their colleagues and students. CLEMENS AND PHILLIPS were involved in initial studies of the Strathbogie granite as postgraduate students at Monash University in the 1970s, and subsequently worked with CSIRO colleagues and Professor Janet Hergt of University of Melbourne. Their field work in the Strathbogie Ranges has revealed many unanswered questions and some remarkable features of this granite. THE STRATHBOGIE PLATEAU is a mixture of state forest and private land, and land owners have been generous in providing access for this research over the years. This support is much appreciated. THE STUDY INVESTIGATES many aspects of the granite including the cooling of the magma, how the large rock pavements and tors form, and how the cracks that developed during the cooling might influence groundwater flow. THE OVERALL AIM of the research is to provide a geological platform for further studies of vegetation, surface water and erosion, arable land characteristics and all the other features influenced by the underlying geology. 5th August WHERE: Creighton Creek Hall for a short business meeting at 7.30pm, then this presentation. 2014 If you are attending please advise John Neilsen via email: [email protected] - No charge - THIS prESENTATION couLD BE proVIDED AT A FurtHER LocATION IN THE FuturE.
