What a treat this week’s episode is! We had a blast catching up with one of our brilliant former science communication students, Milly Formby.
Milly is a qualified zoologist, pilot and illustrator of the children's book, A Shorebird Flying Adventure. In 2022-23 she was the first woman to fly a microlight aircraft around Australia. The aim of the adventure was to promote protection of wetland habitats for endangered migratory shorebirds. Milly took 160 hours of flight time over 365 days covering 14,000 kilometres to complete the journey. Along the way she visited 105 primary schools reaching over 6500 students in remote, regional and urban Australia.
Milly has extensive experience in many different types of science communication and we know you’re going to love this conversation!
