1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings. In a world of

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: influencers who advertise teeth white in every ten seconds, what

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: a pleasure it is to talk to our next guest.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: She is a rural university student who's up for an

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: international science award called the Stockholm Junior Water Prize. Emma

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: is from Coffs Harbor. She's a budding young female scientist

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: who's come up with a way to use eggshells to

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: purify water. Emma Sisia Hello, Hi, hi Emma, this is cool.

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Firstly, why we're using eggshells to purify water?

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: So, my research involved the testing of a variety of

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: biote materials and the results shows that eggshell effectively reduces

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: the Boss eight concentrations in water. So yeah, it can

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: prevent agricultural runoff polluting waterways.

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: So is it for drinking water or is it to

15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: as you say, stop pollution.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: It's to stop pollution. So if eggshell is applied to soil,

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: it can soak up these phosphates and keep them in

18
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: the soil to stop them from running off and polluting waterways.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: Wow, how did someone I mean you're only about nineteen,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: is that right?

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: How did you come up with this notion.

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: So I did it for my HSC Science extension projects.

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: So I have a passion for environmental sustainability and agricultural issues,

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: so I just was thinking of things that could do

26
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: to stop runoff and beutrification. And yeah, I tested some

27
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: different materials and eggshell turned out to be one that works.

28
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: It seems so simple. Why did anyone else think of this?

29
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: I'm not really too sure. There is like a favorite

30
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: of research on treated eggshell, but yeah, I'm not too sure.

31
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: I just think that eggshell's often overlooked and just looked

32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: at as a waste product, not a valuable resource that

33
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: can be redirected.

34
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: So here you are up for an award, the International

35
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Science Awards, the Stockholm Junior Water Prize. How many of

36
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you are going for this? And is it astonishing that

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: you're there?

38
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm so honored to be here. I think that it

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: involves around thirty eight countries and they have thousands of

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: entries at sort of different levels. Yeah, and I'm in

41
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: the top thirty eight, which is really exciting.

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you people like you were going to absolutely

43
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: change the world. You grew up on a farm, what

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of stuff did you did you always invent things

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: around the farm.

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: I always was curious and questioning and solving problems from

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: a young age, and I had a lot of responsibilities

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: which I think can stilled this passion and yeah, love

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: for finding solutions and inventing things.

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: How good are you? Do you like Edison? That's what

52
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: Edison did. He did stuff like that.

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: There was Edison and then there's you.

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: There's no one in between. And all I did when

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: I did science at school, all I did was do

56
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 2: egg gas in the in the science labs.

57
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: Are you're working with egg as well?

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: No, there wasn't even egg there. That was my claim

59
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: to fame, and I got sent out to the principal's office.

60
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: The exciting thing, Emma is we can vote for you.

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: We're going to put the details on our website and

62
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: on our socials here, but Watertank Dot s E we

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: can vote for you here. Let's get behind em Or

64
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: and see what we can do. Do you get a

65
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: great prize?

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: The overall winner gets a lot of money and also

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: very prestigious award in the water community.

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: Well, let's see if we can make you more prestigious

69
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in the water.

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: I want to make you out of the water community

71
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: a bigger thing. You're going to be massive.

72
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: You'll be taking sea monkeys around the world.

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: Sea monkeys. Amanda always gets down to the sea monkeys.

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: They're just lice. You know that. I know.

75
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: It was always upsetting to me. I don't know if

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: you remember, if you know of sea monkeys, Emma, but

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: these were advertised in the back of magazines when we

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: were kids, and it looked like these little emlins that

79
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: would hold suitcases.

80
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: And feed kicks in world. Yes, and in fact that

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: would just see it just sea lice.

82
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: See if you can get onto it, I appreciate it.

83
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: Don't listen to her sea lice ranting. Stay focused. I

84
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 2: had to watertank dot s E to vote for Emma

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty Stockholm Junior Warter Prize. Good luck, Emma,

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: thank you so much. She's an achiever. Joins the and

87
