Rhys Holter in America, and he mentioned evidence just then.
And you may like to look at a brand new organisation here in Australia called Friends of Evidence, set up partly by the Australian Science Media Centre, with backing from former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel and writer Elizabeth Finkel.
And by the way, Chloe Kwan's paper on STEM is in the Science Show website in full.
Belle, what's from you next week?
This is Robin Williams from The Science Show.
My lockdown read, following a delightful memoir by Fiona Patton MP, leader of the sex party, is Prey, published this week.
Prey as in predator, not sublime genuflection.
The author who lives in Balmain is L.A.
Larkin, Louisa to her friends.
Prey, four murders, one terrible secret, is a thriller, pacey, gripping and deeply shocking.
shocking for two reasons first the murders are ghastly now I've always believed that Agatha Christie had to commit 227 murders to get her whodunnits dead right and now I can't believe that charming gracious Louisa Larkin hasn't herself done deeds with a machete so exact so informed are her cruel executions
The second reason to be shocked is that prey is rare rhinos plundered for their horns.
You may know that trafficking wild animals or their remains like horns and tusks is the fourth biggest criminal venture in the world after drugs, weapons and human beings.
Prey are worth well over 20 billion dollars a year and that's what this novel exposes.
The big money and its links to both the villains and top politicians.
It's a scary tale and I'm finishing it right now as I hide behind the sofa.
Prey by L.A.
Larkin, published in Australia this week.
