If I asked you to imagine a $50 Australian note in your hands, what would you see? Firstly, you'd probably describe its yellow colour, then perhaps, the face of a white-haired, smirking man.

Do you know this man's name? Do you notice the sketches of his inventions in the background of his image?

He is David Unaipon, a proud Ngarrindjeri  man from South Australia and one of our greatest ever inventors and scientists. He has often been referred to as our answer to Leonardo Da Vinci, and made significant contributions to science throughout his life, including even conceptualising the helicopter two decades before it became a reality.

Science and scientists have existed in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture for thousands of generations. Our innovation is what helped us survive to become the oldest, continuous culture on Earth today.

My guest on today’s podcast is dedicated to showing the next generation of our kids that a future in the STEM field is not only achievable, but in their blood.

Deadly Science, is the incredible brain child of Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt. It’s something that began simply because he saw a lack of science resources particularly in our remote communities and knew he had the power to change that.

I’m so grateful to be able to capture Corey’s passion and story today and I’m confident after you hear it, you’ll be hungry to help him on his mission.

Make sure you stick around until the end of the ep too for a special announcement…
