Science in Queensland

Sometimes we don’t appreciate just how much science impacts our lives every day. From the mobile phones that wake us in the morning, to the cars and public transport we use to get to work, to the computers we type on, the food we eat and the clothes we wear.

In Queensland our scientists are international leaders at the forefront of many breakthroughs and discoveries that will help locally, nationally and internationally.
