A cross-node ICRAR T&I effort culminated in an in-person panel event for students of radio astronomy disciplines, with the dual aim of raising the profile of radio astronomy as a study pathway, and communicating the potential for non-academic career pathways beyond radio astronomy.
Students were invited to Engineers Australia’s (EA) newly designed premises on St Georges Terrace to hear from an expert panel of industry professionals with backgrounds in radio-astronomy related studies and roles. The panel shared their career journeys, insights on transferring from academia to industry, and the relevance and application of their skills in a commercial context. Q&A, and networking over refreshments followed, to facilitate the students forming deeper connections with the industry mentors.
