Over-use and misuse of antibiotics, antivirals and antifungals is accelerating the evolution of resistance to these drugs in microbes, creating dangerous “superbugs” – including some that can pass between animals and people. How can we help vets, doctors, and other healthcare professionals prevent antimicrobial resistance (AMR), avoid cross-species infection, and save lives? To find out,…

Science at the Edge of Consciousness
What lies beyond the edges of our normal everyday waking consciousness? Join researchers from the Altered States Lab at Macquarie University (and our friends!) for a trip through ancient and modern techniques of consciousness alteration to discover what altered states can teach us about the inner workings of our brains and minds. We will explore…
2025 Marie Curie Lectures: Quantum century – Unlocking the universe’s secrets and shaping our future with Dr Danielle Holmes
100 years ago, quantum physics was born to explain curious behaviour of tiny things. Since then, it has become our most powerful tool that humans possess, not just for increasing our understanding of the world, but for shaping its future. It has unlocked secrets of our universe, such as why stars shine and how migratory…

2025 Marie Curie Lectures – Your quantum future with Dr Sol H Jacobsen
The humble electron is a pillar of modern technology. They power almost every aspect of daily life, from your toaster to your phone. But these devices use only one quantum property of the electrons: their charge. Today, physicists are harnessing other properties – such as their “spin” – to advance a new technological revolution. This…
