Have you ever wondered who the first scientists were? And what science looked like more than 60,000 years ago. Australia is in fact home to the first scientists and there is an amazing and rich history that we can learn from. In this episode I speak with Corey Tutt OAM, who is a proud Kamilaroi man and CEO and founder of DeadlyScience and is also Young Australian of the Year for NSW 2020. We talk about some of the awesome science that has been happening in our country for thousands of years and is still happening now. Corey is also an author and has written a fantastic book that everyone should check out, The First Scientists - Deadly Inventions and Innovations from Australia's First Peoples.
