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!
Yes I spent 5 years working primarily on fish with the CSIRO. It was an absolute blast – research field trips up to the Great Barrier Reef, Torres Straits, Gulf of Carpentaria and the Arafura Sea.
It was fabulous! Learning new species, working out interactions between species and potential commercial impacts of these various species on the fishing industry up in those areas was all a real buzz.
While aspects of science can be challenging, repetitive or boring, overall I would certainly put it in the fun category
