Watch an hour-long astronomy lecture exploring two distinct topics: gender representation in Australian science education and groundbreaking galactic survey results. Discover the findings from a comprehensive analysis of Year 11 and 12 science curricula across Australia through the IncludeHer project, examining how the "lone-male-genius" narrative impacts gender-diverse and minority students in science education. Learn about potential solutions universities can implement to address these representation issues. Delve into the latest developments of the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA eXtended (GLEAM-X) survey, which offers double the resolution and up to ten times higher sensitivity than its predecessor. Explore the survey's findings from the South Galactic pole region, including the detection of fainter galaxies and an anticipated catalogue featuring 1.5 million astronomical sources.
