The pitch to American scientists.

Transcript

00:00Science knows no borders.

00:02Right now, Australia is opening its doors

00:05to the brightest minds to shape discoveries

00:08that matter to all of us.

00:09We didn't know much about the research environment

00:11in Australia.

00:12As it turned out, Monash had very little

00:14in my area of research in quantum condensed matter physics.

00:17But the facilities in Australia were absolutely excellent,

00:21better lab space than I had at University of Maryland,

00:24really world class.

00:25It was an opportunity to start something new.

00:28We're partnering with government, business, philanthropy,

00:32and the research sector to create pathways

00:35where extraordinary talent can thrive.

00:37On my first trip to Australia,

00:39we went out to the Parkes telescope.

00:41You're in control of this most powerful radio telescope

00:44in the Southern Hemisphere.

00:45And you're pointing it at the one thing

00:47that you want to look at.

00:49You feel the telescope moving.

00:51It's a full body experience.

00:53Australia's an exciting place to do science.

00:55Australia, where science lives.
