When you hear ‘Scientist’ do you picture a man in a lab-coat with glasses hunkered down in a lab beavering away on some obscure research? The Women of Waite want to bust this stereotype and give you a glimpse into what the realities, challenges and benefits of exactly what a working scientist is and does.

As part of National Science Week 2018, meet a panel of awesome female researchers from the Waite Research Precinct who represent different career stages and hear them talk about their research, career path, achievements and challenges of being a female scientist, including:

• Dr Kathy Ophel Keller (SARDI)
• Dr Anna Koltunow (CSIRO Agriculture & Food)
• Dr Jacqui McRae (AWRI)
• Dr Allison Pearson (University of Adelaide)
• Jana Phan (University of Adelaide)

You’re invited to a special event to learn more about Windara Reef from a panel of marine experts at a unique National Science Week event. Lead partner of the project, The Nature Conservancy, together with Yorke Peninsula Council, will be hosting ‘Beers and Oyster Reefs’ on Friday 17 August from 4.30 – 6.30pm at Watsacowie Brewing Company, Minlaton. You’ll have an opportunity to sample local oysters from Stansbury whilst hearing from a range of guest speakers:

Windara Reef near Ardrossan is an innovative marine conservation initiative to restore shellfish reefs in St Vincent Gulf and Narungga (traditionally spelled Nharangga) sea country. The growth of Phase 1 of the 4 hectare reef looks optimistic with a wide variety of fish and crustaceans already observed in the area. The reef was built using local limestone and custom built reef balls.  It was seeded with more than 28,000 native oysters and spat is already beginning to be produced. Windara Reef is the first shellfish restoration reef of its kind in the state and the largest project of its type in Australia. The project is a collaborative initiative of the State Government, The Nature Conservancy, Yorke Peninsula Council, RecFish SA, University of Adelaide and community stakeholders.
