How do you spark curiosity about science in classrooms and workplaces? One answer is Borrow a Researcher — a national outreach initiative that makes it easy for schools, non-profit organisations, and workplaces to meet active researchers. Twice a year, participants can book a researcher for a visit, either on site or online, to learn about research topics or what it is like to work as a scientist.
