Transition disks - what can they tell us about planet formation? (STEM Blitz February 2016)
No full textIn this presentation, Sarah Maddison discusses the process of planet formation in the dusty disks around young stars and how new radio wavelength observations are finally confirming the theoretical predictions of her group's models of dust evolution in these disks, which are turning tiny dust grains into planets like the one we live on. Recorded on 5 February 2016
How well does Australian democracy serve sexual and gender minorities?

Sarah Maddison, Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, 2010
No full textAn international research team, led by Associate Professor Sarah Maddison, is studying the disks of dust that enfold newborn planets in order to better understand cosmic birth. To help spot newborn planets, Maddison's team has assembled a complex supercomputer model that simulates what happens when a planet is embedded in the disks of dust and gas that surround young stars. Photographs appeared in the Media Centre Release: 'Disks of dust point to cosmic births' on 15 November 2010

Australia: Indigenous autonomy matters
No full textIn 2007 the former federal government introduced a far-reaching ‘intervention’ into Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory. The government claimed that the coercive measures outlined in this policy were aimed at combating child abuse and welfare dependency, arguing that ‘old approaches’ – such as self-determination – had ‘not worked’. In contrast, Sarah Maddison argues that meaningful self-determination has never in fact been tried in Australia, and is likely to be far more effective in addressing indigenous disadvantage than the overtly xenophobic and paternalistic approaches evident in the current policy approach.
