The AIP’s 2026 Marie Curie Lecture Tour will commence in Perth on 23–24 June, launching a national tour featuring astrophysicist Dr Karelle Siellez from the University of Tasmania.

Dr Siellez’s public lecture, Painting the Universe: A Visual and Musical Exploration of Space-Time, explores the story of gravitational waves and the collisions that create the elements we are made of.

The Perth program will include Girls in Physics Breakfast events in the northern and southern suburbs, together with a public Marie Curie Lecture. The national tour will continue across Australia throughout July and August.
