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 Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
Your body doesn’t get much vitamin D from things that you eat. Vitamin D is found only in a few foods. The richest natural sources of vitamin D are fish liver oils and saltwater fish such as sardines, herring, salmon and mackerel. Eggs, meat, milk and butter also contain small amounts. Plants are poor sources, with fruit and nuts containing no vitamin D at all.
The best way to get vitamin D is to make it yourself….with sunlight on your bare skin! In Australia, we have to be a bit careful because the UV is so strong here…if you overdo it, you damage your skin cells and can cause cancer. But it only takes a few minutes (if your skin is fair) to get all the vitamin D that you need. So go outside!!!
