Abstract

The ASM sponsored Kathryn Holt and Mike Manefield to participate in the Science Meets Parliament event in Canberra organised by Science and Technology Australia (STA) on the 16th and 17th of March 2014. Formed in 1985 in response to ‘wimpish’ lobbying efforts from the scientific community, STA represents 68,000 scientists and technologists and promotes their views on a wide range of policy issues to government, industry and the community.
