"How we think and feel about science develops from an early age – and we never
know where that early interest might take us.
Take Hannah. As a young child, she was fascinated by the way a glass prism can
split sunlight into different colours. At university she studied the way light
can interact with liquids.
Now Hannah works in the food industry, using light to study how oat milk
changes when mixed with hot coffee. The reason your barista can make a great
plant-based flat white is thanks to knowledge developed by people like Hannah.
Her example shows how curiosity about the world can translate into an interest
in science, a discipline that’s vital to understanding – and improving – our
modern world.
However, in Australia not enough people are studying science. So we stand to
lose a future where we can use the tools of science to understand why things
happen."
