Matilda-Jane Oke
Description
At the age of 12, Matilda-Jane Oke became the youngest winner of a Eureka Prize for Science with a research project on how marri trees cope with iron oxide dust. Matilda's Eureka win spurred her on to biochemistry research at the University of Western Australia and ultimately undertook a PhD in plant biochemistry. Today Matilda is reveling in her part-time work as an educator where she's passing on her infectious enthusiasm for a wide range of scientific research and is sparking up a whole new generation fascinated by science.
