All things science! From #astronomy and #IT to #renewable energy and future technologies; interviews with leaders and experts in their fields
DrPhilipTam: Like a virus, computer #gaming and online addiction is spreading rapidly among teenagers and children as young as three, negatively impacting on their quality of life in so many ways. Miani and Leah are joined by guests Susan McLean and Dr Philip Tam for a Cyber Savvy discussion about online gaming disorder. Dr Tam certainly knows a lot about this topic as he is a Sydney-based child #psychiatrist in public practice, and a lecturer with Sydney University. Dr Tam has a long-standing clinical, teaching and advocacy interest in the challenging field of internet and computer-related disorders, and regularly lectures on the topic to both specialist and general audiences. He also comments and writes on the field across the Australasian media and is one of the founding members of NIIRA – the network for internet investigation and research Australia…. In fact Dr Tam is recognised as a national and global leader in this area, so like I said, he definitely knows a lot about cyber addiction!

RubenMeerman: Leah and Miani were superdooper excited to be able to chat with the man known as ‘the Surfing Scientist’ - physicist Ruben Meerman for National Science Week. Ruben has a bio that ranges from unexpected things like an interlude as a runner on Paramount Pictures’ Mission Impossible II to running his national forensic competition for students called “Who Stole the Minister’s Malibu?” and regular stints on ABC's fabulous Catalyst show. Ruben is passionate about literacy, numeracy and science education for all and is certainly doing his bit when it comes to spreading the word that science is simply awesome!

FireballsInTheSky: Did you know that #meteorites are the oldest rocks in existence and the only surviving physical record of the formation and evolution of the solar system. Potentially, meteorites offer a way for us to understand our origins and to decode that information we need to know where they come from. The Desert Fireball Network (or DFN for short) is designed to provide that data. Fireballs in the Sky is a citizen science initiative that allows everyone to share the discoveries of the Desert Fireball Network. To find out more Leah and Miani crossed to Perth for National Science Week to speak with Science Communicator, Renae Sayers from Curtin University, about the Fireballs in the Sky project. Renae has a degree in astrophysics and gets to talk about science all the time including at TEDxPerth, presentations at the Australian Academy of Science and Global Health Conference 2015, as well as a sell-out Fringe World show, which is all pretty impressive! Through her Planetary Science Outreach role at Curtin, Renae shares the stories of the Desert Fireball Network seeking the origins of our solar system and grows the Australian Planetary Science community with NASA through the Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute.... oh, and Renae also breathes fire too!

DrSethShastak To celebrate National Science Week, Leah and Miani replay Miani's interview with Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer and Director of the Center for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research USA, where they discuss cosmic matters such as parallel universes, what would really happen if we had transporters and an ETA for finding ET within the next 2 decades! Dr Shostak is an active participant in the Institute’s observation programs and has been hosting SETI's weekly radio show Big Picture Science since 2002. Each week he interviews guests about the latest scientific research on a variety of topics: cosmology, physics, genetics, paleontology, evolutionary biology and astrobiology... very cool!!
