GiST: Girls in STEM Toolkit
STEM: Science, technology, engineering and mathematics
www.thegist.edu.au

The jobs of the 21st century will be sprung from the STEM subjects being taught in the schools of today.

All our students should have the opportunity to engage with these wonderful subjects. Right now, for a number of reasons, the proportion of girls doing these subjects, and women employed in STEM fields, it at the low end of the spectrum.

If you are a school, a girl who attends school, or parents of a girl still in school; and you, or they, have an interest in STEM; the GiST website www.thegist.edu.au/ may of interest to you.

Please engage with it for further information on STEM and how girls can engage effectively with it.

All the best for the school year ahead!

I hope there were practical steps discussed that would include broader community awareness and education regarding how viruses spread, promoting greater hygiene, health and safety standards in public places.

I participated in a constructive discussion yesterday with some of the Chinese-Australian community leaders of Sydney, regarding Coronavirus, hosted by the Acting Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Alan Tudge MP.

The risks are being managed effectively, there's no reason to avoid your local shopping precinct based solely on Coronavirus concerns.

I'll be enjoying another Eastwood meal this week, and am mightily looking forward to it!

Hopefully it will be safe to mingle. Corona Virus is a “walking time bomb”. Australia has contained it extremely well. What a pity the country of origin - China 🇨🇳 didn’t do the same. Very poor of them to have been so selfish. My worry is Third World Countries. They won’t have a clue how to handle this let alone test people and quarantine them. Sorry to put a damper on your Constituency but we all need to know that this virus is deadly. By all means we should not avoid patronising Chinese Restaurants and shopping centres. Just take care. Wash your hands and stay safe. ✔️✔️👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺👏👏👏

John Alexander - a suggestion re empty restaurants. See "Letters to the Editor" TWT 19th Feb 2020, submitted by Lucy Fang - re Rowe Street's (Chinese side) eateries. SOD (Scores on Doors) needs to be an immediate priority (and updated regularly) for health reasons. There are none. You would (or should) be aware of this….
