Medicated rivers and waterways, a risk for stream animals, study finds
A world-first international study led by a Monash scientist has found that six streams in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs contain a cocktail of pharmaceuticals, which may put platypuses and other aquatic animals at risk as they could consume more than 60 pharmaceuticals compounds, including antidepressants, at disturbing levels.
Scientists find elusive star with origins close to Big Bang
Astronomers have found what could be one of the universe’s oldest stars, a body almost entirely made of materials spewed from the Big Bang.
Monash biologist awarded over $130,000 to investigate bacteriophage therapy
Research on bacteriophages has won Monash biologist Dr Jeremy J. Barr a Ramaciotti Award for Biomedical Research with a grant of $137,534.
Enigmatic Tasmanian rocks provide new insights on how the ‘supercontinent’ developed
An international study led by Monash scientists has found that Tasmania was likely to have been originally ‘attached’ to the western United States.
Discovery by Monash and Toyota scientists could make batteries better
Work by Monash University chemists and materials scientists at Toyota Research Institute of North America (TRINA) on developing non-volatile, non-flammable and electrochemically stable electrolytes, based on liquid salts, could be applied to batteries. The discovery of the new application is outlined in a study published in the leading international journal, Energy and Environmental Science.

Love geology? @MonashEAE's EAE2522 unit offers students opportunities to get up close and examine rock formations to understand how dynamic our planet is. By studying and surveying global basins and their diverse infill of sediments and associated fossils, we can piece together the grand geologic puzzle through the ages. This candid pic by @jimthegeologist shows one of his students inspecting a rock up close during a recent field trip in San Remo. #geology #monashscience #choosemonashscience #sandstone #unilife
