AsianScientist (Apr. 14, 2014) – What would you like to know more about science? What scientific issues concern you, and what discoveries inspire you?
These were questions the Office of the Chief Scientist in Australia asked 1,186 fellow Australians in a national survey spanning all education levels and locations. The responses have culminated in a collection of essays entitled The Curious Country, written by Australian scientists and industrial experts and edited by science writer Leigh Dayton.
From biodiversity and water technology to neuroscience and cryptography, the compendium, recently published by the Australian National University Press, covers an eclectic range of issues that concern and fascinate Australians.
The soft copy of The Curious Country is available for free at ANU Press.
