Those speaking include the Hon Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry and Science, The Hon Richard Marles MP, Deputy Prime Minister and co-founder of Parliamentary Friends of Science, The Hon Karen Andrews MP, co-founder of Parliamentary Friends of Science, Jo White, Director of Questacon, Senator David Shoebridge, Greens science spokesperson, Jas Chambers, chair and co-founder of Ocean Decade Australia, Enrico Palermo, Head of the Australian Space Agenc, The Hon Paul Fletcher MP, Shadow Minister for Science and Professor Mark Hutchinson, Director, Centre for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, President STA.
Marking the launch of National Science Week, the 3M State of Science Index, which annually measures public attitudes to science, is releasing a report which shows 93% of Australians believe positive outcomes can be achieved if people stand up for and defend science.
The report also says 92% want business to take action to defend science, 92% of Australians say STEM professionals can help us solve the problems of tomorrow and 88% of Australians see the connection between science and its role in improving their life.
