*Step up as an STA STEM Ambassador*

Want to serve Australia’s scientific community and deepen your knowledge of
how science can engage effectively with policymakers? Science & Technology
Australia’s prestigious STEM Ambassadors program is now open for
applications
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/i5HpCNLJyQUNk4pW2Sm58EV?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/>
.

The STA STEM Ambassadors program pairs science and technology experts with
their local Federal MP or Senator. Ambassadors meet with their
Parliamentarian several times each year to discuss STEM topics of interest
and enhance Parliamentarians’ access to STEM expertise.

This innovative program
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/pB9CCOMKzVTA1Wk86Cv3OBk?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au>
was created by STA in 2019, and has since trained 41 STEM Ambassadors
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/lgtnCP7LAXf4zpnw7h1Xy_H?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au>
matched with MPs and Senators.

In this new program intake, another 22 MPs and Senators from across the
breadth of the Parliament have asked for a STEM Ambassador for 2023-24.

The STEM Ambassadors are drawn from Science & Technology Australia’s member
organisations and come from a diverse range of academic backgrounds and
interests.

STEM sector professionals who are members of STA member organisations are
encouraged to apply for the program.

Applications are open now and close 9am AEDT Monday 7 November 2022.

"...it’s a human story that builds to a climax and it’s personal from end
to end.
You start out wondering why you bought those blue pajamas and later you’re
wondering why you were born. You go from the foolishly absurd to the deadly
serious and you’ve passed through the gaudy and the nasty along the way.
You get to the edge and you’re played out and you wonder where’s the good
news? Isn’t there supposed to be good news?"
        - Bob Dylan
