#187 Science in Your Swimmers: How Anita Kolni and Caz Grant Built Australia's Ocean Culture Movement
Q: How did the Ocean Lovers Festival originate and what gap were you aiming to fill?
We wanted to bridge the gap between the community and scientists, making the ocean's science accessible and exciting through a festival format that combines fun activities with deep engagement.
#177 From Dive Guide to Nikon Ambassador: Jake Wilton's Camera-Eye View of Nature
Q: How do you get ordinary people to become curious or contribute to citizen science?
Start locally by highlighting small, accessible projects like beach cleanups or local revegetation programs, and show how regular people can log sightings or contribute data through platforms like iNaturalist or FinFocus, proving that meaningful science can come from everyday participation.
#190 The Great Aussie Fungi Hunt with Dr. Michael Priest
Q: When is the best time to look for fungi during the year?
Fungi can appear throughout the year depending on species and climate; the hunt date can shift (e.g., July to target certain regional records), but listening for local seasonal cues helps maximize sightings.
#190 The Great Aussie Fungi Hunt with Dr. Michael Priest
Q: Is it safe to touch fungi while out recording?
In most cases, touching is fine; avoid tasting or ingesting, and be cautious with sensitive individuals or species you're unsure about.

Q: What's the best way to photograph underneath a mushroom without picking it?
If mushrooms are low, carefully turn one with a mirror or use a small reflective surface to capture the gills and underside; avoid disturbing the organism and use basic measuring aids when possible.
