What’s the point of science if you can’t communicate what you’ve discovered? This week Dr Shane spends time with four of Australia’s FameLab finalists: early career scientists who present their original findings with just 3 minutes (and a prop)!

Dr Clair Richards from the University of Technology Sydney expands on her work on preeclampsia and growing placental organoids, so that research can be conducted without further risk to mothers or their babies.

Murdoch University animal production scientist, Georgia Welsh discusses her work on winter lambing management by providing different feed and shelter options.

Auriane Drack, a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne and Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, shares her work navigating the complexities of treating heart disease.

Finally, FameLab 2024 winner and PhD candidate Johannes Debler from Curtin University and the Centre for Crop and Disease Management discusses the arms-race between fungus and many of the legumes that are critical part of our agriculture.
