2026 Annual Digital Artwork 'Science in the mix'
Interdisciplinary science and collaboration are at the core of Australian research excellence. This is depicted by the union of diverse Australian animals embodying the six themes at Pint of Science events: Chemist Koala (“Atoms to Galaxies”), Earthy Echidna (“Planet Earth”), Doctor Dingo (“The Body”), Computer Croc (“Technology”), Mindful Magpie (“The Mind”), and Ruling Roo (“Society”). The central Pint of Science glass is filled to the brim by contributions from these different entities working together. Explore the 2026 Artwork
