SUMMARY:KALEIDOSCOPE
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is biography imagined through the lens of a Kaleidoscope. The viewer is offered fragments of the lives represented here. There is no linear narrative. Each time the kaleidoscope turns\, a different story emerges. There are repeating patterns but different emphases and new ways of seeing\, new reflections\, new refractions. No one story dominates and one story does not fit all. \nin 2021\, during Women’s History Month we launched the RHSV Women’s Biographical Dictionary\, an online resource which builds profiles of women who have been involved in the RHSV over its 113 year history. This project is the work of Dr Cheryl Griffin and from this online resource\, Cheryl has curated Kaleidoscope\, launched in March 2022 by Judi Maddigan\, which looks at the lives of 50 of those important women. \nCURATOR: DR CHERYL GRIFFIN\nEXHIBITION DESIGNER: KATRIN STROHL\nEXHIBITION PRODUCTION: DR DAVID THOMPSON & HELEN STITT\nThe exhibition is opened Monday – Friday (excluding public holidays) from 9am-5pm and entry is free-of-charge.

SUMMARY:What’s behind discovery?
DESCRIPTION:Popular histories of science often tell a story of progress based around great ideas and great individuals. However\, historians and philosophers of science have long pointed to the other factors that are involved – social structures\, economic forces and the combined talents of many people. \nJoin us for this special History and Philosophy of Science Seminar to explore the factors that lie behind scientific discovery\, in conversation with historian of quantum mechanics\, Kristian Camilleri\, and particle physicist Suzie Sheehy\, author of “the matter of Everything: Twelve experiments that changed our world”. Kristian has an interest in how personality shapes the progress of science\, and Suzie’s book focuses on the material nature of experiments as well as the contribution of often-unsung women in science. \nTogether they will go behind the common ‘great man’ stories of science to explore the nature of discovery. \nThe History and Philosophy of Science program at the University of Melbourne is one of the oldest HPS departments in the world. In today’s world\, understanding how science works is more important than ever. \nThis event is also being broadcast online: \nhttps://unimelb.zoom.us/j/88607428680?pwd=WjBEblhVQi9MTTZuRmlQYU9hNU5MZz09 Password: 508772 \n\nFor more information click here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTERS\n\nSENIOR LECTURER IN MEDICAL ACCELERATOR PHYSICS\, UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE\n\n\nDr Suzie Sheehy obtained a first-class honours degree in physics from the University of Melbourne in her native Australia in 2006\, before completing a DPhil at the University of Oxford in 2010. During her DPhil she worked on designing a new type of particle accelerator for cancer treatment using protons and light ions\, as part of the Particle Accelerator for MEdicaL Applications or ‘PAMELA’ project\, under the supervision of Prof. Ken Peach. \nShe was then awarded the prestigious 2010 Brunel Research Fellowship from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 and from 2010 to 2013 was based in the ASTeC Intense Beams Group at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Lab in Oxfordshire. Here she worked on designing new and challenging high power proton accelerators for future applications\, based on the ‘Fixed Field Alternating Gradient’ accelerator principle. \nFrom November 2013 to March 2015\, she was a Senior Accelerator Physicist in the ASTeC Intense Beams Group\, developing research collaborations with groups in Japan and focusing on several aspects of fundamental beam physics\, novel high intensity hadron accelerators and accelerator characterisation. \nDr Sheehy joined Oxford Physics in April 2015 on a joint appointment with STFC/ASTeC to continue her research on the topic of high-power hadron accelerators and to further contribute to the John Adams Institute training and education programmes. From October 2017\, she is a Royal Society University Research Fellow in Oxford Physics. You can learn more about her research and collaborations here. \nAlongside her research\, Dr Sheehy is passionate about the promotion and communication of science\, for which she has received several awards. In 2010 she received the esteemed British Science Association Lord Kelvin Award and the University of Oxford Vice Chancellors Civic Award for her work in presenting science to school and public audiences. Dr Sheehy is regularly invited to present lectures at the Royal Institution\, Institute of Physics and other venues. In 2014 and 2015 she co-presented large headline shows at the Big Bang Fair to audiences totaling 12\,000 people each year alongside TV presenter and food writer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nSENIOR LECTURER\nHISTORICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL STUDIES\n\n\nDr Kristian Camilleri is a lecturer in the History and Philosophy of Science program in the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies. After studying physics and HPS at Melbourne University\, he completed his PhD in HPS at Melbourne University in 2005. \nKristian has published in the history and philosophy of modern physics\, and has collaborated with other scholars from around the world on the History and Foundations of Quantum Physics project. In 2009 he published a book entitled ‘Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Physicist as Philosopher’ with Cambridge University Press. \nHis research interests include the interpretations of quantum mechanics\, the interplay between culture\, philosophy and physics in the first half of the twentieth century\, the structure of thought experiments in science and and the changing role of ‘popular science’ in the scientific culture of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. \nKristian has taught across a range of subjects in HPS ranging from the history of science\, social studies of technology\, and the philosophy of science. He has supervised postgraduate students working in a variety of areas including the history of modern physics\, philosophy of science and social theory. He currently teaches an introductory history of science first year subject called ‘From Plato to Einstein’\, a second year subject ‘Gd and the Natural Sciences’ with Rev Dr Stephen Ames\, and the third year HPS capstone subject ‘Knowledge in the Making’.

SUMMARY:No Ordinary Convict
DESCRIPTION:It is Family History Month at Yarra Plenty Regional Library. or much of her life\, Janine Marshall Wood\, a former English\, History and French teacher\, has been gripped by the remarkable story of John Hughes\, his leadership in the Rebecca Riots\, his convict years and life afterwards in Tasmania. She has retold this tale countless times to audiences of all ages throughout Australia – sometimes even in French. \nThe Rebecca Riots (1839–1844)\, a protest movement that galvanised and amused much of the Western world\, was known for its audaciousness and humour. Their aim was to alleviate the hardship of unfair tollgate charges in rural Wales. One of its leaders (or Rebeccas) was John Hughes (Jac Ty-isha)\, who is the subject of Janine’s recent book “No ordinary convict: a Welshman called Rebecca”. \n“No Ordinary Convict: a Welshman called Rebecca” addresses the context from which this extraordinary movement arose and then traces John Hughes’ background\, arrest\, trial\, petitions for freedom and voyage to Van Diemen’s Land. Simultaneously\, and throughout the entire book\, there are comparisons and contrasts between other Rebeccaites and the entire convict population. \nCopies of “No ordinary convict: a Welshman called Rebecca” will be available for sale. \nImage: Painting by John Wynne Hopkins\, 2021 \nEltham Library\, Panther Place\, Eltham\, Vic.

SUMMARY:Georgiana Molloy- celebrating one of Australia’s first female botanists
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens\, Melbourne Inc \nThis online talk tells the extraordinary story of Georgiana Molloy\, one of Australia’s first internationally successful female botanists.  Georgiana and her husband\, Captain John Molloy\, who emigrated to Australia in 1830 with the first group of European settlers to the remote southwest of Western Australia.  Here\, despite personal tragedy\, Georgiana’s passion for flora was ignited. Entirely self-taught\, she gathered specimens of indigenous flora from Augusta and Busselton that are now held in some of the world’s leading herbarium collections \nOur presenter\, Bernice Barry lives on WA’s southwest coast near the place where Georgiana arrived.  Bernice has researched Georgiana’s own writings and notes and will share the stories of this botanist whose appreciation and wonder of the landscape around her became her salvation and legacy. \nBernice’s meticulously researched book\, Georgiana Molloy: The Mind That Shines is available to order from her publisher. \nBookings essential.
