In this episode, Dr Kirsty Short speaks to Professor Tamara Davis. Professor Davis is an astrophysicist who studies the elusive “dark energy” that’s accelerating the universe. She’s measured time-dilation in distant supernovae, helped make one of the largest maps of the distribution of galaxies in the universe, and is now measuring how supermassive black holes have grown over the last 12 billion years.

In this episode, Dr Kirsty Short speaks to Professor Gabrielle Belz. Professor Belz is the Chair in Immunology at The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute. Her work aims to understand how the immune system responds to infections including viruses, bacteria and parasites.
