What do phones, furniture and pharmaceutical products have in common?...
Feedstocks! Chemical feedstocks to be precise.
Join our year 11 students (Zoltan, Nicholas and Jacob) as they speak with Associate Professor of Chemistry, Nate Szymczak (direct from the USA) to find out what chemical feedstocks are and why they play such an important role in our communities.
Along the way we also discuss Nate's research, the nature of science and the realities of implementing scientific innovations.
Hold on to your fedoras, it's going to be one fun ride!

After a long break, we are back with another episode, which was recorded at the end of 2020.
In it, our year 12 students (Makayla and Cooper) chat with former South Sydney High School student, Dr Colin Kong. We ask him about his journey from student to doctor and the benefits and challenges of his work. He shares some great advice for any students listeners who may want to follow a similar path. We also discuss his fascinating research into cancer treatment and ask the difficult question... "how close are we to a cure?"
We apologise for our absence, but we have a lot of exciting guests lined up, so stay tuned for more episodes!

As we prepare to farewell our Year 12s, this episode (our very first episode - recorded during the height of the COVID19 pandemic) features a few of our finest. Join Easton, Jack and Conor (with a brief cameo from Robbie) as they chat with ecologist Zoe Xirocostas about threats faced by native plant species all over the world.
You'll learn how we can protect our native plant species, how native plants can become pests in foreign locations and you might even pick up a bit of knowledge to help you talk your way out of your chores.
This will be our last episode for this term, but join us back here in Term 4 for a full season. We will be releasing a new episode every fortnight.
Best of luck to our year 12s for their upcoming exams and for all their future pursuits!
