    Episode 228: Early Earth Eras Tour

    Welcome to the third instalment of our 'Geoscience Mini-Series', a four-part journey where we engage with geoscientists from Tasmania and across Australia. This week, we're thrilled to chat with Dr. Indrani Mukherjee, a geology lecturer and researcher at the University of New South Wales. Join us as we explore Indrani’s work unravelling the intricate connections between early Earth evolution, the emergence of complex life forms, and the genesis of valuable mineral deposits. We also delve into Dr. Mukherjee's innovative ideas for engaging young people in geology, drawing surprising comparisons to the relatability of Taylor Swift!
