Show Notes
“While I’ve always had this interest in science, I didn’t always feel like it was the most accessible or easily understandable, so I was really drawn to science communication.” - Felice Ng Join The SciComm Collective’s Clare as she interviews Felice Ng, a UWA student pursuing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science in Pharmacology and Genetics, along with a Science Communication minor. In this episode, Felice shares how Australia’s unique biodiversity inspired her to make a podcast about Triggerplants (Stylidium) as part of a bigger series called “Wildflower Walks.” Note: The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions is mentioned for student assignment purposes only.
