Woah, it's a willy willy! 💨 . This dusty vortex of air can occur on hot days when the sun heats up the ground. The hot air expands and rapidly rises through cooler, denser air and any sideways movement, like a gust of wind, creates a twisting spiral column. They typically occur in desert or arid areas, like the Pilbara. . 📸: @hellhathnofurylikea_womanstorm . . . #willywilly #weather #weatherphotography #weatherscience #wind #pilbara #desert #science #sciencefact
It's been a busy week for these Future Health Professionals! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ . From intensive practical workshops including suturing, infant emergency care and surgical scrubs, to conversations with health professionals like Prof. Fiona Wood, participating Year 11 & 12 students have gained valuable hands-on experience in medical health. . We're always so proud to work on this positive and impactful program with Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, helping shape students' STEM careers in health and medical science.
The Pleiades star cluster features in all kinds of cultural stories. ✨📖 In some Aboriginal Australian stories they’re the Seven Sisters, and several indigenous American groups refer to them as a band of brothers. In a neat coincidence, scientists think those stars are siblings as well! 👭 .
