Stories we need to celebrate

 A new podcast on the stories we need to celebrate. 

The Australian Highlights series is a collection of interviews, discussions and articles about where we've come along the path of innovation and discovery, and where we're heading. Focus will be put on game-changing women and Indigenous innovation, Australian discoveries lacking from the public conscious (did you know the tech behind current solar panels was developed in Sydney?) to highlight that diversity really does encourage invention.  The aim is to fill the gaps in our collective knowledge on science, plus the ingenuity of women and Indigenous Australians in their fields.

We're going to have fun along the way with some great guests sharing their insights as well as comediens to help us find the humour in everything.  

"The present epoch is a major crossroads for our civilisation and perhaps for our species. Whatever road we take, our fate is indissolubly bound up with science. It is essential as a matter of simple survival for us to understand science. In addition, science is a delight.” 

– Carl Sagan, Cosmos, 1980
