🌌 SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT | Professor Brian Schmidt AC

What if the Universe isn’t slowing down… but speeding up? 👀

In 1998, Professor Brian Schmidt and his collaborators made a discovery that changed our understanding of the cosmos: the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. 🚀

Their work on distant supernovae revealed evidence for what we now call dark energy, earning Schmidt the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics 🏆

From studying exploding stars billions of light-years away to leading scientific research in Australia, Professor Schmidt’s career is a reminder that some of the biggest discoveries begin with asking unexpected questions. 🔭✨

We’re excited to welcome him to the BIOTech Futures Symposium!

Women make up just 37% of STEM enrolments and 15% of STEM jobs in Australia. 👀

The Khuda Women in STEM program is helping change that, with 8,000+ student interactions and counting.
