Informing
Public Debate
Dr
Susannah Eliott
Chief Executive Officer
Australian Science Media Centre
The
high point of my April 12th was chairing
a roundtable discussion with journalists called "kicking
the carbon habit."
The event included well-known, US scientist Stephen Schneider
and other climate and policy experts.
My job involves informing public debate about
science by providing news reporters with
access to good science and experts on issues such as bird
flu, the abortion pill (RU486),
climate change, and nuclear
energy.
What turned me on to science? Looking down a microscope
and seeing for the first time a whole 'city'
of weird and wonderful single-celled creatures
in a drop of pond water.
