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!
Hi Patrick,
I would describe my experience working with differ people in my work as fun, especially some of the students that have come through our lab in the past.
As for traveling, I have been lucky to go to some conferences to present our experimental results in Australia and overseas, most recently the Gold Coast. The conference centre had lizards walking around the gardens which resembled a tropical jungle- I love lizards and skinks so that was fun for me!

Great question, Patrick!
Well, my science has taken me to live in France and America, and now back to Australia! I think one of the best things about science is that you get to travel the world asking about science!
I think the funniest place science has taken me is probably to Las Vegas! We had a meeting there and it was wild! Really a lot of fun and one of the funniest trips I have taken!

Hey Patrick,
Once I got an all expenses paid trip to Adelaide for work.
Not as fancy as others I’m sure, but I’d never been to Adelaide before, so that was cool.

My work has taken me to Geneva in Switzerland, London, New York, San Diego, Barcelona in Spain, New Zealand and Amsterdam. I feel very lucky to have been to conferences in so many exciting places and to meet people from all around the world.

My work has taken me to the remote areas of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. Such amazing places!!!! And incredible people! I’d love to go back again.
