Episode 287: Deadly Reptiles & STEM Yarns
In this episode, we sit down with proud Kamilaroi man, author, and science champion Corey Tutt to talk about his latest book Caution! This Book Contains Deadly Reptiles. We explore how this vibrant and educational book blends Indigenous knowledge with western science to inspire a new generation of curious minds - especially kids - about Australia’s most misunderstood creatures.
Corey shares his journey as founder of the award-winning charity Deadly Science, which provides science resources to remote schools across the country. We discuss the power of representation in STEM, the importance of sharing First Nations science, and how reptiles - feared by many - can become a gateway to deeper respect for Country and culture.
Get ready for a conversation that slithers between storytelling, science, and social change!
