On the very first episode of the AAUS Podcast Series, our host Andrew Crowe, sits down for a chat with Melanie Olsen, Project Director at Reefworks, Australian Institute of Marine Science. Melanie was the recipient of the Leadership Award, presented at the recent AAUS Gala Dinner.

In addition to hearing about this award, Melanie and Andrew also discuss:

• Melanie's background,
• How she got into uncrewed systems
• Australian Institute of Marine Science's role, including ReefWorks
• Where the industry is headed
• Existing barriers
• Melanie's advice to the industry. 

A brilliant first episode to kick off the AAUS Podcast Series! 

Enjoy.
