Media

Science communication

No research is complete without it being shared.

We publish our research in peer-reviewed journals, and share the results through media including television, radio, events (like the annual Science in the Sanctuary and Ginninderry Research Showcase), conferences, discussions, tours, podcasts, books, exhibitions, media releases, and social media.

This enables our findings to reach local, national, and international audiences, so they can have the greatest impact.
