And all the roofs around the world, huge amount, are made based on his research.

There are amazing ways you can realise things for the public interest, but you actually have to plan for it.

Speaking of the future of science in Australia, we've heard from Chloe Kwan over the last couple of weeks.

Her hatred of science was transformed into what we hope will be a lifelong love.

Here she is reading the final part of her article for the Teachers Guild magazine in which she looks to the future of science education.

Chloe Kwan from St George Girls High School, reading her article in the Teachers Guild magazine, now complete.

And a final reflection on Chloe's ideas from former school principal Petro Papazoglou.

Here's my bike.

Look.

And be themselves as well.

Petro Papazoglou, now head of education, early childhood education actually, had Rise and Shine and bringing his bike in for early education in perhaps engineering, as long as he brings it in several times.

Robin, did you know Desmond Morris?

I knew him quite well, yes.

We lived close to each other also in Oxford.
