Big science. Small bites. Great stories.

Ever wondered what scientists and researchers are working on right here in Far North Queensland?

Join the FNQ STEM Hub for Bite-Sized Science, a relaxed evening where researchers step away from the technical jargon and share their science in a simple format: one slide and just three minutes to tell their story!

You’ll hear a fast-paced collection of fascinating science stories, meet the people behind the research, and discover some of the exciting ideas, questions and innovations being explored in our region.

There will also be an opportunity to go behind the scenes at JCU’s Ideas Lab, with tours including the AI Hub and immersive CAVE, and to find out more about the technology and research happening there.

Between talks, enjoy canapés and networking, chat with researchers and connect with other people who are curious about science, technology, engineering and our world.

You don’t need to be a scientist to come along. Bite-Sized Science is designed for anyone who is curious and loves discovering something new.

Come for the science. Stay for the stories, conversations and connections.

Bite-Sized Science is presented by the FNQ STEM Hub as part of National Science Week 2026.
