Professor Roger Wepf and the CMM team have been integral in enabling us to move the program outside of South Australia. Beginning with a trial late in 2018, then moving on to hire Sandrine Roy in a sponsored position to support the growth and establishment of the inspireSTEM education program in Brisbane.
Our thanks to Dr Bronwen Cribb for her hours (and hours) of work in colouring our amazing centipede image on the front page, it takes quite some time to really produce something like this.
Thank you also to Dr Kim Sewell and Professor Mike Bennett from The University of Queensland for the use of their shark skin image on the front page.

Paihau—Robinson Research Institute at Victoria University of Wellington was formed in January 2014.
The team of 25 scientists, engineers and students was previously the superconductivity and energy group at Callaghan Innovation and Industrial Research Ltd (IRL). IRL was formed when the Department of Science and Industrial Research (DSIR) was dissolved in 1992.
The Institute is named to honour the late Bill Robinson who was a physicist, seismic engineer and director of the Physics and Engineering Laboratory at DSIR. His support of research into superconductivity was instrumental in establishing the team that now bears his name.
