Science Friction, ABC Radio National

This series was an absolute delight to be a part of. Natasha Mitchell and I went out exploring the Perth hills together to admire some native carnivorous plants, and discussed their ecology and history. I loved listening to the story Natasha weaved, including interviews with Dorothy Erickson, Philippa Nikulinsky, Dr Neville Marchant, and Dr John Huisman for this two-part tale on ABC Radio National’s Science Friction:
