In this episode, STEMpunk Shane Hengst interviews Dr James O'Hanlon, Postdoctoral fellow at Macquarie University.

We talked about James' research, his work his interest in science communication and STEM. A great chat, I'm sure you'll agree. I really hope you enjoy this episode and also thank you so much to James for his time!

James is on twitter @jamohanlon, and he has his own podcast called Insitu Science. You might recognise his latest guest!

James’ Homepage:

After James answered Professor Schmidt's question about girls in computer science so well, we asked James to ask a question for our next guest, This is his question:

"How would you justify sheer exploration, the intellectual equivalent to sailing into unchartered waters, to friends, family, funding bodies and universities?"

Here are some videos that James mentioned in the interview, enjoy!
