Join Superstar of STEM  Dr Indrani Mukherjee as we discuss the importance of the Earth Sciences for our world and describes her passion for helping people to get involved in STEM. Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education About Dr Indrani Mukherjee Indrani explores links between early Earth evolution, the origin of complex life and the formation of precious mineral deposits. She moved to Australia from her home country India in 2014 for her PhD at the University of Tasmania. Post-graduation in 2017, she continued as a postdoctoral researcher in Tasmania alongside branching out into fields of public outreach, geoscience communication and diversity initiatives. As a person of colour, a migrant and as a woman, she is always ready to communicate issues pertaining to intersectionality. https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/indrani-mukherjee About the Superstars of STEM program Superstars of STEM is a game-changing Australian initiative to smash gender assumptions about who can work in science, technology, engineering and maths. Since it was created by Science & Technology Australia in 2017, it has made a powerful contribution to start to tackle the serious gender inequity of visible diverse role models featured in the media as experts in STEM.  Open to women and non-binary people, the program equips brilliant diverse STEM experts with advanced communication skills and opportunities - in the media, on stage and in schools. The result: we’re growing a critical mass of more diverse celebrity scientists appearing regularly in the Australian media to inspire our next generations of young Australians into STEM study and careers.https://scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/  Hosted by Ben Newsome from Fizzics Education With interviews with leading science educators and STEM thought leaders, this science education podcast is about highlighting different ways of teaching kids within and beyond the classroom.
