Cosmos Issue 101: The Science of Fire

The world is changing and Issue 101 is here to ask the burning questions: How did we get here, where are we going, and how can science guide us to make the right choices?

• Bianca Nogrady charts the way data is helping Australia negotiate its relationship with fire. • Clare Watson takes a hard look at Big Pharma and explores alternative drug development initiatives that put people over profit. • Up in Arnhem Land David Hancock finds a collaboration between Western science and First Nations knowledge that is restoring country – and rediscovering species. • Meanwhile, a kaleidoscope of other science stories crunch the numbers on maths education, navigate the history of vectors, walk both sides of Goyder’s Line, and much more.

Join us – this issue is an adventure.

This is Issue 101 of Cosmos, a quarterly science print magazine, is produced by The Royal Institution of Australia. Cosmos aims to inspire curiosity and make the world of science accessible to everyone.
