SciComms in Australia: Sharing ideas and insights from across the Tasman

Curious about what’s buzzing in the world of science communication in Australia and what Aotearoa New Zealand might take from it?

In June 2025 SCANZ held a lively online panel where voices from across Australia's science communication landscape shared what’s happening now, what’s emerging, and how we might work together in the future.

Whether you're immersed in science communications or just curious, this session offers valuable insights from a familiar but uniquely different SciComm landscape.

Panelists:

• Preeti Castle – National Council member, Australian Science Communicators (ASC)

• William Peng – President, Australasian Science and Technology Engagement Network (ASTEN)

• Jackson Ryan — President, Science Journalists Association of Australia
