Do we drive trucks through nature reserves? Presenters Dr Shane, Dr Ray, Dr Ailie and Dr Graci discover the answer is… sort of! Also: Wildlife scientist Dr Vanessa Pirotta has found that over 18% of Australia’s marine parks had shipping exposure in excess of 365 vessels per year for the last few years, which is particularly troublesome for our ocean megafauna (big things like whales and sharks) who are impacted by both the water and sound pollution. And Clinical haematologist Dr Ashley Ng talks about her specialist work with stem cells, which has won him one of the 2022 National Stem Cell Foundation of Australia’s Metcalf Prizes, and he shares a little about how blood stem cells are controlled, and how they sometimes go rogue, leading to blood cancers.
