Scitech's Wonder Kids

Who brews a brewer's brew? How does yeast and sugar water become booze? Is a brewery actually a science lab? This week, the Particle Podcast heads to the pub. Listen to hear brewer Brody Watts answer all our burning beer-science questions. He chats about chemistry, hops, and innovative brews.

You can find Brody's beers on Instagram @beerbybrody and @seasonalbrewingco or head to https://seasonalbrewing.beer/

What even IS a scientist? How can we make sure all kids are getting the same chance to dream of being a scientist? These are some of the questions Corey Tutt answers as he joins us on the pod this week. He's the founder of Deadly Science, the NSW 2020 Young Australian of the Year AND an Indigenous STEM star. Corey stopped by to talk about his science journey and all the strange skills he has learnt along the way.
