Last year I had the opportunity to join the Australian Academy of Science for a three month paid internship with the science policy team. I’m currently a third year PhD candidate at the Australian National University and CSIRO Agriculture studying ways to improve photosynthesis with the ultimate goal of increasing yield in important food crops.

One bright little amber eye, regarding you almost quizzically. You can almost hear the internal question “what are you and what are you doing here?"
Fair question to raise. I’d asked it of myself several times during the Homeward Bound experience.
