Reuben Jacob – a good time to cell
Reuben's path to a career in biotechnology started when he broke his arm at school and saw the miraculous work of the doctors who healed him. Join us for his conversation with Sarah Davidson as he discusses his plight to beat ovarian cancer after losing his grandmother to the disease, how biotechnology harnesses nature's toolbox for the good of mankind and the thrill of constant discovery. Reuben gives us insight into the future of biotechnology, regenerative medicine and what it was like to study biotechnology. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study biotechnology (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/bsc_bscbiotech.html) +Learn more about Bellberry (https://bellberry.com.au/) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.

Jacob Maher – call of the wild
Ecologist Jacob Maher thinks you're a scientist. In fact, he believes we all are; "When people say they don't like science, it's like saying they don't like art. It's just so versatile, and I think we are all scientists in a way." Join us for his conversation with Sarah Davidson as he talks about sustainability in our urban environment, the different ways technology is changing the field of ecology and why we love charismatic animals! We also cover the changing role of zoos in conservation, killer robot drones, and what it was like to study ecology. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study ecology (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/majors-specialisations/eco) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) If you know someone who would find value in these conversations, please share In Their Element with them.

Brendan and Laura Carter – Bottled botanicals
Winemakers Brendan and Laura want to challenge your palate. After meeting in their first year of university, this husband and wife team joined forces to push the boundaries of modern winemaking and take the practice back to its natural and historical roots. Join us for this fascinating conversation with presenter Sarah Davidson where they discuss the science and art of winemaking, how they channel the Australian identity into their products and what it is like to run a business with your partner. They discuss why their pursuit of quality is always balanced by sustainability and how Brendan's degree in viticulture and oenology, and Laura's study in agricultural sciences, has influenced their business. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study viticulture and oenology (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/2020/bvito_bvitoenol.html) +Study agricultural sciences (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/2020/bags_bagricsci.html) + Follow Unico Zello on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/UnicoZelo/) + Follow Unico Zello on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/unicozelo/) + Follow Unico Zello on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr50MoMwqZzE9BUXpJvzK5A) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) If you know someone who would find value in these conversations, please share In Their Element with them.

Millie Shinkfield – Food (science), glorious food (science)
Millie is a die-hard foodie. She loves nothing more than deconstructing the textures and flavours of her favourite dishes when dining out…much to the annoyance of her friends. But, as a food technologist at Mexex, she does know what she is talking about. Join us for her conversation with presenter Sarah Davidson as she talks about the versatility of the humble potato (including its use in ice cream!), what inspired her to focus on food waste and the study pathway that has led her to be in her element. Millie talks us through issues like the changing nutritional value of food depending on how you cook it, her work in quality and safety and what it was like to study food and nutrition science. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study food and nutrition science (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/2020/bfsct_bfoodsct.html) +Learn more about Mexex (https://www.mexex.com.au/) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) If you know someone who would find value in these conversations, please share In Their Element with them.

Pip Edwards - Walk on the guide side
Pip Edwards transforms lives on a daily basis, one puppy at a time. She could hardly believe it when she landed her dream job (and almost everyone else's!) as a puppy education supervisor with the Royal Society for the Blind. Join us for her conversation with presenter Sarah Davidson as she explains the superpowers of a dog's nose, why she chose to work with animals instead of being an engineer, and the challenges of training people, as well as dogs! We also cover the unbelievable cuteness of three-week-old puppies, what it takes to train a puppy destined to assist in the community and what it was like to study animal science. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study animal science (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/bsc_bscas.html) +Visit Royal Society for the Blind (https://www.rsb.org.au/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzLjCn5mI6gIVSHRgCh0qWgqcEAAYAiAAEgJrb_D_BwE) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) If you know someone who would find value in these conversations, please share In Their Element with them.

Phoebe De Wilt - The sky's the limit
We all do it, but to Phoebe De Wilt discussing the weather is more than just a way to pass the time with a stranger. As an aviation forecaster for the Bureau of Meteorology, Phoebe's take on the weather guides thousands of travellers and pilots to a safe landing. Join us for her conversation with presenter Sarah Davidson as she talks about her love of science, why she is happy to have let go of her childhood dream to travel to space and the study pathway that has led her to be in her element. Phoebe provides insight into her work forecasting for airports and areas all over NSW and the ACT, plus tells us what it was like to study space science and astrophysics. +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/uniadelsciences/) +Follow University of Adelaide Sciences on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/uniofadelaidescience/) +Study space science and astrophysics (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/degree-finder/2020/bsc_bscssap.html) + Follow our host Sarah on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/seize_the_yay/?hl=en) If you know someone who would find value in these conversations, please share In Their Element with them.
