April 2023 - Powering Victoria
The combined scientific, environmental, and economic evidence highlights the critical need to transition away from the use of fossil fuels for electricity production. In this edition, we feature some of the innovative scientific research that rethinks our electricity production, how students are creating models of renewable energy cities, and the multi-faceted approach required to transitioning our energy production, storage, and use.

With research predominately publicly funded in Australia, much of the work and study is focused on scientific advancement, publications, and securing grants – rather than ‘science’ as a commercial product or service. In this edition we look at the intersection of Science & Business, and some of the ways that science and scientists are succeeding in the market.
Victoria is home to a diverse range of environments, which vary based on factors like local climate, water availability, elevation, geology, geomorphology, soils, and others. In turn, these environments are home to different ecosystems, comprising all manner of life that have lived in these niches for centuries. This month, we take a look at some of these different ecosystems, and how we might value and protect them.
