Refraction Media has just released the new the double edition Careers with Science & Health magazine. Careers with Science & Health not only shows you how to get a job you'll enjoy, but also one that allows you move quickly from one field of expertise to the next, helping to solve some of society's major challenges along the way. We call it STEM + X – where 'X' is your passion, hobby, another field of interest or even a world-changing goal. Your 'X' could be anything. For example, health + music could lead to a new therapy that lowers patients' stress levels. Or astronomy + film could lead you to create amazing planetarium shows. Computer science + maths could lead to new ways of visualising research, using 3D immersive data display or virtual reality tools. Careers with Science & Health includes over 65 real-life reads and 150 STEM + X degrees in science and health fields, plus job and salary data. To read the magazine, go to https://careerswithstem.com/read- it-here/ BACK TO CONTENTS UPCOMING EVENTS Photography 130 Exhibition Photography training at RMIT is as old as the institution itself, dating back to 1887.
