In January 2021 the Club sponsored Heather Maltby to attend the National Youth Science Forum and she joined us last Monday evening to speak about the experience.
Heather gave us a great insight into the forum and her enjoyment at attending.
The forum, usually runs in Canberra as a live-in event was re-jigged to be an online production this year which did take away a little from the hands-on aspect of the event. But this did provide an opportunity to link onto more online science communicators and she mentioned that Dr K was impressive.
Heather spoke about some of the subjects which caught her attention such as:
whether we can trust algorithms which are the driver in most artificial intelligence practices
the advancement is producing oxygen from running water
the gigantic handron collider - 27 kl long
Heather said she is not a scientist yet but is very interested in learning more about various aspects of it and she thanked the Club for providing the opportunity to attend the NYSF.

“Providing for those in need”
Many local organisations have been quick to change their programs throughout the pandemic to better help those in need. One example is Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre, which moved from offering face-to-face programs to providing meals, care and emergency relief packages and other support.
The Rotary Club of Canterbury also quickly adapted to local needs, refocussing its Asia Pacific FORaMEAL project locally after seeing many individuals and families in our community doing it tough.
The program, which offers free and nutritious meals to vulnerable individuals and families in times of disaster, has since provided and distributed more than 170,000 nutritious meals to vulnerable Victorians, with the assistance of 37 community groups and schools.
Doug Hawley, founder of the initiative, said: “Members of the Rotary Club of Canterbury feel they have made a small but significant contribution to relieving hunger in Melbourne.”
The Canterbury Rotary Club lunch usually meets bi-weekly for a meal and some fun.
David Zrna looks after the reservations for the lunch group. Please contact David at david.zrna@canterburyrotary.org or on 0467033092 to advise that you will be coming to a lunch.
