More about Scarlett Li-Williams

Scarlett's masters focus is looking at genetics for investigating biodiversity and using bioinformatics tools and genetic analysis for management of invasive deer populations in Australia. In addition, she has a fascination with space sciences and conducts volunteer research projects with her team at Science & Agriculture Applications in Space (S.A.A.S) Missions at the Australian Centre of Astrobiology. SAAS Missions is a team comprising of undergraduate and postgraduate students, founded at UNSW by Scarlett in 2018 and has student members from all over Sydney. The team’s goal is to conduct research projects of biological systems in space, with a large focus on hands-on, self-taught education through conducting independent research as students collaborate from a variety of fields including computer science, engineers, ecology, medical sciences, business and more. In addition, S.A.A.S Mission conducts STEAM outreach and education workshops to students around Australia and collaborates with scientists and educators around the globe!

In addition, Scarlett has taken part in science communication events, outreach programs and Women in STEAM panels and talks, as well as worked with science organizations around the world including the Young Scientist Journal and the British Science Association. She spends her spare time as a freelance graphic designer, science writer and wildlife artist and photographer, See her online portfolio at www.studiesinscarlett.com
