Weiland & Forster - 2009 Synapse Residency_
Nicky Forster & Willoh Weiland (VIC) + Dr Chris Fluke, Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing, Swinburne University (VIC)
Swinburne’s Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing (CAS) continues its strong commitment to inter-disciplinary research, having previously hosted ANAT residencies in 2004 and 2007.
In this project, Forster and Weiland resume their successful partnership investigating issues in contemporary astronomy by drawing upon the research obsessions and cosmological programs resulting from the Centre’s involvement in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a new-generation radio telescope.
For the duration of the residency (which, aptly, continues into 2009 - the International Year of Astronomy), the duo will podcast a soap opera in fortnightly instalments organised around the key project areas of the SKA, invigorating existing models of scientific outreach in the process.
