Episode description

Science is vastly more impactful if it is shared, and this week Dr Euan, Dr Jen, and Dr Shane look at the connections between policy, science, and community. Have you ever wondered how science is translated into interactive, inspiring exhibitions? Melbourne Museum’s Experience Developer Mei Liu joins the show to expand on the intersection of science and experience (while also previewing her latest project: Air Playground at Scienceworks).

If that doesn’t get you out of bed, imagine if you medically couldn’t.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or what's named 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' has been met with stigma and controversy since its discovery. In fact, recent studies show that even doctors can have negative attitudes about it. Professor Ros Gleadow (Head, Plant Ecophysiology Research Group) and her daughter Eliza Charley (who lives with the condition) have teamed up to identify knowledge gaps; investigate treatment options; and highlight this very underfunded area of research.
