FameLab is a live science communication competition that aims to discover charismatic early career scientists who can inspire people to see the world from new perspectives. It is run annually in Australia and in over 22 countries across the world.

"Kit Prendergast brought a buzz and a colourful costume to the FameLab Australia stage with research that hopes to protect native bees.
She investigates native bees in their natural environments within a ‘biodiversity hot-spot’ in southwest WA. With this research, Kit Prendergast hopes to answer the question of how native bees can be protected. With a central role in ecosystems, protecting bees is more than just a buzzword."
