This week we are joined by Seth Westhead, a Research Fellow at The Kids Research Institute Australia, who is working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adolescent health and wellbeing.
Seth recently participated in the AusSMC's Indigenous Media Mentoring Program, an intensive media training program aimed at giving Indigenous scientists and researchers the skills and the confidence to engage with the media.
