Howdy folks and welcome to OnSET!
What is OnSET, we hear you ask? Officially, OnSET is an online science, engineering and technology review run by students at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. In practice, it is a really really awesome publication that you will soon become hopelessly addicted to for the rest of your studies, perhaps even for the rest of your life.
We know that many of you already spend lots of time thinking about science – in your studies, in your work and in your lives. Our aim is to make you want to think about it. This makes us pretty unique for a university publication.
You are looking at the first prototype of the new OnSET, so please be patient with us. We’re still working on some of the bells and whistles. If you have any technical problems with the site, please let us know at unswonset@gmail.com!
So what can you do? If you’re feeling a bit awesome, you might like to peruse through the articles on the homepage. We’ve dug up these pieces from the OnSET archives to give you a taste of things to come.
But if you’re feeling more than just a bit awesome, go to our submissions pages! We really need submissions – articles, videos, artworks, interviews or anything else you have to offer. We’re also looking for a small team of writers to write short pieces for us on a semi-regular basis. If you’re interested, drop the OnSET editors a line at unswonset@gmail.com. However, they are a pretty mysterious bunch, and there is no guarantee that any reply you receive will make any sense. Word has it that they congregate at the ASB late at night in rainbow-coloured labcoats where they have long-winded arguments about the singular form of Jatz. If you want to learn more about these curious human beings, take a look at their editorial profiles.
