Synopsis

As Australia's Chief Scientist, our country turned to Alan Finkel for advice on everything from climate change to artificial intelligence, to the pandemic. But at a time when scientists have never been so important, Alan nearly didn't become one at all! Growing up in Melbourne as the son of immigrants who fled the Holocaust and desperately wanted Alan to become a doctor, he had to find the courage to make his own choices - becoming an engineer, neuroscientist, academic, entrepreneur, philanthropist and a clear-thinking leader.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Kim Doherty is an editor, storyteller, teacher, and a mum to two young children - Molly and Xavier - who she hopes will be inspired by the amazing world of science and Alan's story. This is Kim's second book for children, the first was about Mt Everest and the amazing facts, death-defying adventures and strange myths of the world's highest mountain. When she's acting like a grown-up (which is not very often), Kim is an award-winning editor-in-chief who has led some of Australia's best-loved publications, from The Australian Women's Weekly to Kidspot. She is passionate about sharing Australian stories and the importance of lifelong learning: Kim is hoping to complete her most recent educational endeavour (the world's slowest Master of Laws) sometime before the end of the century.
