Terms and Conditions

Science Hub Australia is creating a community of scientists. We are meeting the professional development needs of qualified and postgraduate scientists to allow them their full potential at work and in their lives. We champion scientists and their research to government and the public, and we make science matter again – to you, to them, and to us.

Science Hub’s logo

Science Hub’s logo is based on the logarithmic spiral of a nautilus shell. Logarithmic spirals are studied by scientists of every discipline and are repeated throughout the natural world – in shells, plants, and galaxies, and in the movement of storms, insects and birds.

Dr Gavin Baker, a graduate of the University of Melbourne, wrote a prize-winning essay on the logarithmic spiral in nature. It was first published in Traffic, the postgraduate journal of the University of Melbourne Graduate Student Association. Read an extract from his essay.
