Additional funding support
If you are a young scientist from Australia or New Zealand, you can enter the competition for the ATA Scientific Encouragement Award. The first prize winner will receive the $1500 award and two runner-up winners will receive $750 each.
To enter simply submit an answer of 500 words to the question below:
Theme: Social media – Out of control?
The various forms of social media have provided many personal, information and business benefits. However, they also allow abusers to cause considerable harm including bullying and misinformation. What limited forms of self-censorship they had to reduce harm, now seem to be abandoned. Governments are considering some harm limitation measures such as banning access to children under 16. The question. Should we impose restrictions on these dominant organisations to limit harm and misinformation? If they consider themselves so powerful that they can ignore reasonable restrictions, how should we respond? Do you think the Government should shut them down thus sending a message to the others?
Enter the award at via the ATA Scientific website. Entries close on the 28th of March 2025.
