Summer Series: Young Australian of the Year 2025

While we take a break we are revisiting some of our favourite stories and interviews in our summer series. This week we revisit the interview with Young Australian of the Year Dr Katrina Wruck, a groundbreaking green chemist working to break down harmful "forever chemicals." As the first Torres Strait Islander to receive an Australian of the Year award in any category, Dr Wruck shares her journey, the science behind her research and how she is working to improve environmental and health outcomes in remote Indigenous communities.
