First Australian in top society of gravitational scientists
Distinguished Prof Susan Scott elected fellow of
ISGRG
She
joins the ranks of Stephen Hawking and Nobel Laureates as a Fellow of the
International Society of General Relativity and Gravitation (ISGRG). Prof Scott
was recognised for her contributions to the understanding of singularities and
the structure of space-time.

NASA reveals first images of unseen universe
JWST captures most detailed
images to date
The dawn of a new era in
astronomy is here as the world gets its first look at the full capabilities of
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The telescope’s first full-colour images and spectroscopic
data uncover a collection of cosmic features elusive until now.

More news
- The sad loss of FAIP Ian Johnston in late 2020 will be acknowledged in an obituary in our Australian Physics magazine later this year. Ian was a champion of University Physics Education research in Australia. He initiated the OzCUPE (Australian Computer Use in Physics Education) conferences in the 1990s and headed the Uniserve Science program, which led to the formation of the AIP Physics Education Group and the AIP Medal for University Physics Education.
- Do you think you might be one of the next Superstars of STEM? Receive advanced communications training to build a strong and media public profile, and be a role model for the next generation. Details and how to apply for the 2023-2024 program here. Open to women or non-binary people employed in STEM at any career stage. Closes 14 Aug.
- Calling budding physicists and science communicators: Australian Physics magazine is seeking exceptional physics research articles or essays written by Year 12 students. Please contact the editors at aip_editor@aip.org.au for further information. Closes 9 Sep.

From gravitational waves to optimising energy supply chains: Dr Qi Chu
“Physics is an infinite maze. Once you fall into it, it’s hard to get out. I am always awed by its beauty and difficulty.”
Physics
was not her forte in school. Yet she helped develop a real-time gravitational
wave detection pipeline. Now, she’s using her physics training to model energy
supply chains for a global energy company.
Read her career profile here and other profiles here.
