Yet, despite these many and varied uses, researchers believe they remain a mostly untapped resource for humanity. Professor Ian Paulsen is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology, a research centre that spans nine universities across Australia.

By combining engineering and human rights disciplines, he is researching the links between access to transport and the inequalities facing Peruvians today. HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY? We might not always be aware of it, but efficient transport structures and services are vital for social inclusion.

Make the most of your time at high school to develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership. I also teach GIS and data science classes, all with a geophysical component, and conduct research in these topics. I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in.

It is an incredibly useful field with a wide range of applications from biological and social sciences to computer animation and finance. Applied mathematics is essential to solving real world problems in many areas, and Anotida’s work goes far beyond his own research in theoretical and computational biology.

In the early 1990s, I was doing my doctoral research in Lesotho, Southern Africa. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.

Researchers from the FLARE Wildfire Research Group at The University of Melbourne in Australia are developing models that can help predict where wildfires are most likely to occur and how fires behave under different weather conditions. How can the next generation of bushfire researchers be successful?

This is the first of a series of pieces I’m planning in connection with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the publication of A New Kind of Science. “There’s a Whole New Field to Build…” For me the story began nearly 50 years ago —with what I saw as a great and fundamental mystery of science.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

I first met Ed in 1982—on an island in the Caribbean he had bought with money from taking public a tech company he’d founded. But Ed Fredkin’s first piece of public visibility seems to have come in 1948, when he was 13 years old—and it reminds me so much of many of Ed’s later “self-imposed” adventures.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. Kelvin’s ideas about the inevitable dissipation of “useful energy” spread quickly—by 1854, for example, finding their way into an eloquent public lecture by Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894).
