38:27Now PlayingLast weekend’s tragic shark attack at Dee Why in Sydney claimed the life of surfer Mercury Psillakis, while writer and broadcaster Julia Baird was in the water nearby. Do shark nets work? In this episode, Julia and guest host, scientist Darren Saunders, reflect on the attack, the future of shark nets in NSW, and what it means to share the ocean with sharks.
We also turn to the state of higher education: with ongoing funding cuts to Australian universities, should you still encourage your kid to go to university? Why are Australia’s tertiary institutions important?
