This book is eagerly awaited by many science enthusiasts and those who wish to keep up date with current thinking. It is a readily accessible path for people, as the writers present their topic with clarity and readability. The range of topics is incredibly wide and cover issues such as the long tail of Covid, and also the changing aspects of Science itself.

The Foreword “FIRST PEOPLE AND STEM,” by Corey Tutt, brings to the reader’s attention the contribution to STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) by the first Australians. He discusses the sophisticated understandings they had relating to their environment, astronomy, land management and more. That these people are not acknowledged, and their perspectives not widely known, should be addressed.

The introduction mentions the honour that Jackson and Carl felt when reading the submissions for this year’s book. The topics they chose deal with issues such as Leatherback turtles, A House built of slime, AI, and drugs. Food chemists also are mentioned as tastes of simple things such as chips take on new flavours.

It is privilege to be able to keep up with the latest in Scientific thinking in such an affordable and easy way.The Best Australian Science Writing 2024
