Macinley Butson joined Nic on the show between an English assessment and the beginning of her school day to talk about her recent recognition as the 2018 NSW Young Australian of the Year. The future is looking bright for this young scientist and inventor, who was the first Australian to win a top prize in the prestigious INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair this year for her invention which helps protect women undergoing breast cancer treatment. Macinley shared more about how science runs in her family, why she is inspired to help others and assures us not to underestimate the big ideas of young people.
