From exploring the mysteries of dark matter, to planting the seeds of human life away from Earth, Lachlan McKie is using nuclear science to solve some of our most complex questions.

How do we find enough people with the skills necessary to grow the space technology sector?

Until recently we had very little idea when butterflies evolved, and hypotheses concerning their place of origin were largely educated guesses.
