What would you do if you witnessed a murder? Offer help or pretend you didn't see it? Why do we behave the way we do?
Just how accurate are the claims of drug companies? Do pharmaceutical companies always put the consumer first?
How do you build and communicate through a microcomputer?
These questions will be answered, scientific mysteries explored and myths exploded at the National Youth Science Forum at Monash University this Friday.
84 Year 12 students from around Australia will spend the morning at Monash University, learning the latest in science, engineering and related disciplines.
Activities will explore computer systems engineering, pharmaceutical development, social psychology and genetics.
The forum is an opportunity for the students to 'test-drive' their future careers as scientists and engineers.
Where: Monash University, Clayton Campus, Clayton, Melbourne.
When: Friday, February 9 2007, 8.30am -- 1pm
Additional Information:
Pictures of students and experiments will be available. Students will be available for interview on the day. Monash University Academics will also be available for interview.
