Last week we were back at YWCA Canberra for their Great Ydeas Microgrant Breakfast, celebrating the 2026 winners 🥞☕️💯
Our Co-Founder @1sabelR received one of these grants in 2025 for Sci_Burst and it’s had a big impact on our visibility and growth. She got to share part of this story with attendees 💖💫
Thank you YWCA Canberra for making space for women to thrive!
+ Congratulations to all the new winners, Kartika Medcraft-Smith, Jacinta Froud, Mei-Ling Chin, and Amy Chu 🎉
We are so honoured to receive support from #YWCACanberra to continue to make, grow, and level up our #Sci_Burst #podcast
Last week, our co-host @1sabelR was awarded a very special #GreatYdeas Grant to boost our #scicomm passion project and bring more quality #science in #popculture content to you 🌷 We even got to catch-up with one of our season 2 guests, who spoke about their own experience receiving this grant in 2024 and where it took them 🤩
Advocating for #science, #women, and underrepresented communities is always important - especially right now - and it’s so heartwarming to see how supportive #YWCACanberra is of all three 🌷
This morning I was honoured to receive a local #GreatYdeas Grant to level up my #scicomm #podcast @sci_burst with @theEllamo 🎙️
In a time when these sorts of initiatives that empower women and champion #DEI are disappearing in other “western democracies”, I am so so grateful. Let’s keep fighting for it 💪
