We get a lot of people contacting us with invention suggestions. Some are great, some are… not great. Thankfully, we only ever get talented people applying for our undergrad vacation scholarships! If you’ve got the great ideas, we’ve got the scholarship for you!

Well listeners, this is it for a little bit — Season One of Interronauts is over. In our last episode, we've got new technology from CSIRO: giving scarecrows a brain, we've got the evolution of the first flower ever (what!?), we've got more research on how tarantula venom can help treat enwormed sheep, and plenty more science shenanigans. (Don't forget to listen back through our back catalogue!)

Join me for a dip into the amazing work going on at CSIRO.
[Camera zooms up to show Cam McEvoy and another male’s face as they look down]
Oh, that’s so cool.
[Images move through of Cam McEvoy and two males operating the hexapod and robotically controlled vehicle, their hands on the controls and the hexapod moving towards the camera]
Keep an eye out for CSIRO’s social media channels where I’ll be taking you behind the scenes to explore the latest in science and technology

What do CSIRO and Olympic swimmer Cam McEvoy have in common? A love of science of course! That's why we’re really excited to announce that Cam ‘The Professor’ McEvoy is going to be hanging out with us over the next year as our first ever ambassador. You could even say he’s our… Cambassador.
