BSc Biochemistry, Master of Science in Forensic Science
Richard completed his MSc in Forensic Science at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland. In 2004 Richard decided to design a forensic science program that would bring real world science into the classroom and from this idea, Education Interactive was born. He wanted to show students the real-world applications of the science they were learning in the classroom in an engaging manner. This idea has now grown into an international success with Education Interactive touring Australia, the UK, and Ireland.
Bsc Biological Anthropology, Grad Cert. Gender Studies, Master of Science Communication (Outreach)
Abby stumbled upon her passion for Science Education after struggling with traditional science subjects. She has worked with a diverse range of audiences from pre-school to high school students as she travelled around regional and remote Australia for her Master degree at the Australian National University. Since then she has worked in Astronomy and Engineering education.
Abby is interested in how science is performed and by whom. She hopes to inspire people of all races, genders, ages, abilities and postcodes into science, so they in turn, will create science for people like them.
