Oxygen: Breathing in the Universe 5:30-6:30pm
Dr Lisa Kewley will discuss the history of oxygen atoms, from the Big Bang through to the air that we breathe today. Oxygen atoms were created in the first stars in the universe and expelled through powerful supernovae and vast stellar winds. As matter collided, forming galaxies, oxygen was created in many generations of star formation throughout the history of the universe. Kewley will present recent observations of the amount of oxygen in the universe using the Keck and Subaru telescopes on Mauna Kea
in Hawaii. She will also describe how oxygen atoms responsible for life as we know it, created in these galaxies end up in the earth's atmosphere.
Venue:
The Finkel Lecture Theatre
The John Curtin School of Medical Research, Building 131

Dru Yoga with Robyn 6.15pm-7.45pm
Robyn Harris has been teaching Dru Yoga for 8 years. "I started yoga when I became ill and it was a great way to stretch out my muscles, shift some stress and help me sleep better. Then I discovered Dru Yoga and it was love at first try. Its a fantastic style of yoga to start when you have health issues that might limit your energy or movement but it can also stretch those that are fit and healthy. When I teach I enjoy seeing the mood of the class shift as the class progresses and people are happy and relaxed".

From the Margins - Speaking up on Mental Health 09:45
St Vincent de Paul Society members report a growing number of people with a mental illness accessing our services. Many of them are lonely, feel isolated, and have little or no social linkages. The current medical model with its existing structure cannot meet this crucial need. Few can maintain wellness, no matter how good a management plan they have, without secure affordable housing with appropriate levels of support and social linkages.
Our National Council is therefore hosting a half-day forum in which we can hear the voices of those who are living with mental illnesses and those who stand in solidarity and friendship with them.
All are welcome, and there is no registration fee, but we ask that you register beforehand for catering purposes.
To secure a place at this Forum please contact
Donna Scheerlinck on 026202 1200 or donnas@svdpnatcl.org.au
no later than 17th July 2009.
Please arrive at 9.45am for a 10am start.
Lunch will be served at 1.15pm.

INDUSTRY AND SCHOOLS ARE INVITED TO HELP BUILD FUTURE WORKFORCES
Where: Orion Room, Canberra Southern Cross Club Woden, 92-96 Corinna Street Phillip ACT
Following on from the outcomes of the School and Industry Leaders Forum (SILF) in 2008, the Student to Industry Program (SIP) in conjunction with Career Advice Australia is providing more opportunities for industry to link with schools.
Career Advice Australia (CAA) is an Australian Government initiative that strives to help all young Australians make a smooth transition through school and on to further study, training or work.
As part of this SIP and CAA encourage industry to take an active role in shaping their future workforce and support schools in assisting the students in their pathways and choices.
Eight Industry Information Breakfasts are being held across ten industries to give industry representatives the opportunity to meet directly with school Careers Advisers and National Industry Career Specialists (NICS).
The Breakfast will be followed by a SIP Trip, where attendees will be taken to industry sites specific to the industry to view the breadth of each business and the employment opportunities that exist within them.
