About the Author

Australian Geographic creates and distributes print works that inspire, entertain, teach and give readers access to a world of discovery β€” and possibility. They publish books for adults, families and children on a wide range of subjects, from animals to travel, cartography to history, fun facts to moving stories. Australian Geographic’s books support and are strongly tied to its educational and scientific mission and receive a broad range of cross-promotion in the society’s media properties, including print and online.

Founded by proud Kamilaroi man Corey Tutt OAM, DeadlyScience emerged with a powerful mission: to address the inequalities in educational resources and opportunities that discourage First Nations youth from pursuing their passions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the First Scientists of this land, and DeadlyScience is dedicated to celebrating and preserving that legacy. Through their programs and resources, DeadlyScience are breaking down barriers for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across Australia and inspiring the next generation of deadly scientists, innovators, engineers, and mathematicians.
