Professor Phil Bland \| Planetary Scientist	Oct 21, 2022 12:30 PM	WA’s Moonshot: The Inside Story Behind the Binar Space Program Professor Bland's goal is to see Australia take its place amongst space faring nations by leading our own science missions. His presentation will cover: the research of Curtin’s Space Science Technology Centre, the background to the launch of the Binar-1 spacecraft in August 2021 and the development of a WA spacecraft R&D program, and the future direction of the program, including a planned lunar orbiter mission to gather geophysical data for resource assessment. Phil Bland is Professor of Planetary Science at Curtin University. He came to Curtin in 2012 on an Australian Laureate Fellowship. Previously he was director of the planetary research centre at Imperial College London. Bland established the Fireballs in the Sky outreach and citizen science program in 2013, which won the Australian Government Eureka Prize. In 2015 Bland established a partnership between NASA and Australia in planetary, space and exploration science. Curtin now formally represents the Australian planetary community to NASA. He initiated the Binar Space Program in order to develop a WA spacecraft engineering capability, and the Curtin Space Science and Technology Centre. SSTC is now the largest planetary science group in the Southern Hemisphere, flying its first spacecraft in August 2021. Six more will follow over the next 18 months. Bland has been on 7 planetary mission science teams. In 2006, Asteroid ‘1981 EW21’ was renamed ‘(6580) Philbland’ in recognition of his contributions to space and planetary science. He was named Western Australia Scientist of the Year in 2019.

Dr Bec Wellard \| Australian Wildlife Conservancy	Nov 18, 2022 12:30 PM	Scaling Up Conservation with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife across more than 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre and the Top End. Recognising that ‘business as usual’ for conservation in Australia will mean additional extinctions, AWC is developing and implementing a new model for conservation. AWC protects a very high proportion of Australia’s terrestrial biodiversity including 74% of all mammal species, 88% of all bird species and over 54% of all reptile and frog species. We protect more species – and more threatened species - than any other non-government conservation organisation in Australia. Dr. Bec Wellard is a wildlife scientist who has a diverse career across both terrestrial and marine science. Bec started out in terrestrial ecology in her early years studying koalas, dingoes and other charismatic Australian animals. She then furthered her studies in the field of marine science and studied whales and dolphins for over 10 years, lucky enough to conduct her PhD on Australian and Antarctic killer whales. Bec returned to her terrestrial roots when she started working at AWC, shifting her focus back on the conservation of our extraordinary Aussie critters and gaining new skills in the Development Team. Bec is an avid science communicator and loves to share her fascination and enthusiasm for wildlife and the incredible work AWC does through lectures, presentations and chatting with our incredible supporters.
