Come with us to Floriade as science communicators (part 3) 👩‍🔬💐

Floriade this year showcased the beauty of science through flowers and visual science communication 🎡🌷🔭 It even sparked conversations about science between visitors, and encouraged them to share their own scientific knowledge about flowers (whether or not they realised!) 🌻🧬

Come with us to #floriade as science communicators (part 2) 👩‍🔬💐

Floriade this year saw a record number of visitors: 519,413 ‼️ That’s a lot of people interacting with #science and #flowers 🤯🤩

It’s amazing to see science be a core part of Canberra’s spring spirit and the festival honouring Australian scientists who made major contributions to their field 🧪💗 (who you can learn about on the Floriade website)

Come with us to #floriade as science communicators (part 1)👩‍🔬💐

This year’s theme was “Science and Nature” ! Each garden bed display showed a different #science element, from #Petri dishes 🧫 to #DNA 🧬 to the human #brain 🧠 to light #refraction 🌈 to #space and #engineering mechanisms ⚙️🪐 and so much more. Not to mention all the interactive science-themed shows and activities 💜

Flowers themselves are all about #biology and #genetics 🧪🌷

The flower beds this year have arrangements themed around different sciences. This one, obviously, represents computer science. #Canberra #Floriade

A second post about #Floriade #Canberra 2025

I quite like the way these photos came out - they look like paintings. To my surprise, one of them was shot on an iPhone. The rest were taken with my #fujixt5

Unfortunately due to a user error of mine, I didn't have any raw files of these shots. Although the photos don't look bad at all, I wish I can tweak them a little bit.

I think I'll take Pearl to the Floriade Dogs Day Out on Sunday. I haven't been to Floriade this year so this will be a lovely adventure for us. #canberra #floriade #roughcollies
