In 2016, the dome appeared in the television documentary series about Australian modernist architecture Streets of Your Town presented by Tim Ross. On 20 January 2020 the Dome was seriously damaged by a hailstorm with smashed skylights and denting of the copper roof surface. Education Science education is a main commitment of Australian Academy of Science. Current activities include following projects: Primary Connections Science by Doing Nova: science for curious minds reSolve: Mathematics by Inquiry Science booklets Brain Box Fellows The Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science is made up of around 500 leading Australian scientists. Scientists judged by their peers to have made an exceptional contribution to knowledge in their field may be elected to Fellowship of the academy. Twenty new Fellows may be elected every year. No more than two Fellows may be elected every three years on the basis of distinguished contributions to science by means other than personal research. A small number of distinguished foreign scientists with substantial connections to Australian science are elected as Corresponding Members. Fellows are denoted by the letters FAA (Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science) after their name.
