Interpreting cancer dynamics, discovering the effects of space radiation and finding how your body parts were named. Think you know the answers? Think again!

What’s in a name?

A/Prof. Kat Sanders (Associate Professor, University of Sydney)

Let’s look beneath the skin and discover the stories behind anatomical names, while asking important questions like… Why are so many parts of the body named after breasts? And who thought naming body parts after themselves was a good idea (we’re looking at you, Mr Fallopian tube!)?

A Piece of Space on Earth, effects of Space Radiation

Dr Mel Ferlazzo (Accelerator Scientist-Radiobiologist, ANSTO)

ANSTO is working on the effects of space radiation on material and human cells using accelerator sciences...but what does it all mean?

Developing the tools to track cancer dynamics

Dr Bram Soliman (Research Associate, UNSW)

Blood tests can provide oncologists with much-needed information on cancer dynamics. But how do we interpret the information provided by these tests? Bram's team combined their in-house biosensors with lab-made 3D-printed cancer models to answer this question.
