I recently had the opportunity to attend the ASC2023 conference thanks to AuScope. The theme was was Hindsight, Insight and Foresight. As a science communicator and writer, I found the conference to be an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and gain valuable insights into the field.
One of the highlights of the conference for me was the keynote address by Dr Cathy Foley, who spoke about the importance of communicating science effectively to the public. She emphasised that scientists need to engage with the public in a way that is accessible and relatable, and that we need to continue to build trust and understanding between the scientific community and the general public.
