A Superstars of STEM special - brain health, sharks and radio astronomy

This week’s episode is a Superstars of STEM special edition, with resident Superstar of STEM Dr Susi inviting three of her fellow Superstars to talk about their science on air. Dr Shane is joined in the studio by regular co-hosts Chris KP and Dr Susi, recruiting all listeners for CSIRO’s latest citizen science project - the “Chart Your Fart” app. The guests are Dr Sophie Andrews, a Senior Research Fellow and Lead of the Healthy Brain Ageing Research Program in the Thompson Institute at the University of the Sunshine Coast, talking about how lifestyle (like exercise, diet and sleep quality) can impact brain and cognitive health and reduce risk for dementia. The second guest is Dr Charlotte Birkmanis, Shark researcher at a Marine Foundation and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Centre in Queensland talking all things sharks, why we need them for a healthy ocean and her children’s book ‘Little Shark Lulu Goes To Sleep’. She was followed by Dr Laura Driessen from the Sydney Institute for Astrophysics (SIfA) at the University of Sydney, talking about Radio Astronomy and how she uses data from Australian Radio Telescopes to look at radio stars.
