Astrophiz 77: Dr Christine Redman

In this episode we feature a fabulous interview with Dr Christine Redman, who is an Honorary Fellow with the Melbourne Graduate School for Education at the University of Melbourne. She is going to give us the big picture on the state of Science Education in the Primary (Elementary) Secondary and Tertiary sectors in Australia, and how Science Education is the key to Australia’s ambition to nurture its newly formed Australian Space Agency. For observers and astrophotographers, in ‘What’s Up Doc’, Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave tells us what to look for in the morning, evening & night skies. In this episode all the action is in the morning sky and in 'Ian's tangent' he tells us about robots snorting asteroid dust with Tantalum bullets. In the news: Academic & Scientific Publishing: A short intro to predatory publishing Observations of Radio Magnetars with the CDSCC Deep Space Network at Tidbinbilla. Astronomers love big numbers.
