I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Boron Zone. It has a range of scientists studying all different topics. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
The most unique animal I have found to-date was a Cryptic Sun Moth (Synemon theresa). It was found in my own backyard while I was searching for insects to bring along to a “Bring Us Your Bugs” event at the SA Museum. The last specimen the SA Museum had for this particular species was submitted back in 1939 and the last time it had been seen in Adelaide was 15 years earlier.
At the time it was considered quite a find – even made the evening TV news and the local newspapers.
