The Bushfire CRC took to the airwaves of Melbourne’s community radio station Triple R throughout June, with Deputy CEO and Research Director Dr Richard Thornton, Professor Jim McLennan (La Trobe University) and Dr Brad Aisbett (Deakin University) guests on the Einstein A Go-Go science show.

Over three successive Sunday’s Dr Thornton gave an overview of the Bushfire CRC, Prof McLennan talked about how people make decisions under the stress of a bushfire and Dr Aisbett discussed research into the effects of heat, smoke and sleep deprivation on firefighters. Podcasts are available of each show on the Triple R website.
