Rachel works as an Aboriginal Art Chemistry Researcher, analysing the chemistry of Aboriginal art pigments to understand Aboriginal technology and migration
In this film, she talks about why he does this, and her early inspiration in high school to show us that there are careers that combine both art and STEM.
This resource is well suited to Year 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10 Chemistry students who are looking for a unique, practical application for their scientific understanding. It is particularly good for those learning about how chemistry is necessary in other fields, like historical research.
