The Faculty of Science has a number of upcoming events for students, teachers and the community. Our events include tours, seminars, information sessions and opportunities to get involved. Take a look below to see what's happening in Monash Science.
Drugs in our waterways - Natures high?
Faculty of Science alumni are invited to join Professor Bob Wong for a lunchtime webinar on Friday 31 July 1.00-2.00pm to find out how psychoactive pollutants can change the behaviour and mood of our wildlife — just like it does to humans.
You could call it accidental pollution or an unintended consequence of improved human health. When medicines used by humans leave our bodies, they and their metabolites, find their way into our waterways and into insects, fish and other wildlife.
Date: Friday 31 July 2020
Time: 1.00 - 2.00pm

Monash Organic Spectroscopy Symposium 2020
The Monash Organic Spectroscopy Symposium (MOSS), a virtual spectroscopic-based event, covers the core principles of the spectroscopic analysis of organic molecules, and helps students develop skills in applying advanced tools and techniques required for analysing and interpreting data. This symposium has been designed to align with the spectroscopic chemistry section of Unit 4 VCE Chemistry. Students will be guided through the use of both NMR and IR instruments to collect spectra, and analyse the collected spectra, along with Mass Spectroscopic and Elemental Analysis data, to determine the identity of unknown organic molecules.
When: Now! The 2020 event is now a virtual experience!
