For Our Elders: Celebrating NAIDOC Week 2023


NAIDOC 2023


Join us in honoring the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people during NAIDOC Week. This year, the theme is 'For our Elders,' celebrating the wisdom, resilience, leadership, and contributions of our cultural knowledge holders, trailblazers, nurturers, advocates, survivors, and loved ones who have paved the way for future generations.

"During NAIDOC Week, we take the time to recognize and appreciate the immense knowledge and resilience of our Elders," expressed Mayor Amanda Findley. "Together, let's show our gratitude and respect as we learn from their wisdom and work towards a brighter future."

Get ready for a range of exciting local events lined up throughout the week, as the Council invites everyone to join in and pay homage to the culture and achievements of our Aboriginal communities.

Kicking off the week is the Council's NAIDOC Week launch morning tea and flag raising ceremony on Monday, July 3, at 10 am outside the civic centre.

Don't miss the Shoalhaven NAIDOC Family Fun Day on Wednesday, July 5, from 10 am to 2 pm, at the Nowra Showground. The event will feature a variety of activities for kids, information stalls, jumping castles, hot food, live entertainment, prizes, a petting zoo, and a VR flight simulator.

Save the date for the Local Government Regional NAIDOC Awards ceremony on Saturday, July 29, in Kiama. The community is encouraged to submit nominations for deserving individuals and projects, with categories including Aboriginal Elders of the Year, Aboriginal Community Representative of the Year, Aboriginal Young Achievers of the Year, Aboriginal Community Volunteer of the Year, Aboriginal Organization or Project of the Year, and Outstanding Contribution to Reconciliation (Aboriginal or Non-Aboriginal).

Revolutionary AI Discovery: Potent Drugs Unveiled to Combat Aging and Age-Related Diseases

The process of finding new drugs, known as drug discovery, has traditionally been a costly and time-consuming endeavor. However, machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, has emerged as a game-changer that can significantly accelerate this process at a fraction of the cost. In a recent breakthrough, a team of researchers including colleagues from the University of Edinburgh and the Spanish National Research Council IBBTEC-CSIC in Santander, Spain, harnessed the power of machine learning to identify three highly promising candidates for senolytic drugs. Senolytics are a class of drugs that slow down the aging process and help prevent age-related diseases. Understanding Senolytics and Their Role: Senolytics function by eliminating senescent cells, commonly referred to as "zombie cells." These cells remain metabolically active but lose their ability to replicate due to DNA damage caused by various factors, such as exposure to UV rays. While the inability to replicate ...
