Motivator Monday: World Science Festival 2025

Written By Michael Cowling

Back to Motivator Monday for the 2nd full week of 2025, so it's time to get away from self-promotion and towards other endeavours. ;) Specifically, it's probably a good time to encourage you all to start thinking about World Science Festival this year in Brisbane.

I've been involved in WSF for a number of years (supported by Queensland Museum network) and this year looks to be a banger program for sure. Later in the year we'll head out into the regions, but in March this year we are starting in the CBD with a bunch of cool events over a much longer period.

The program officially launched late last year, so I've included the video below, but keep an eye out for more as we go along! For now, enjoy this full week into 2025 and stay motivated. ;)
