In the opening plenary of the ASC2012 conference, Professor Ian Chubb, Chief Scientist of Australia, will offer his thoughts on Australian science, where it’s heading, and how he sees science communication weaving in with it. After Professor Chubb’s opening address, there will be at least 20 minutes for audience members to pose questions from the floor. The session will be moderated by Dr Rod Lamberts, Deputy Director of the Australian National Centre for Public Awareness of Science at the ANU.
