Science has a tendency to ignore uncomfortable truths and we all need to play a role in advocating and appreciating Indigenous culture and the contributions it has made to science. Indigenous people were Australia’s first scientists say Thomas (5/5). #STEM #INDIGENOUS

Thomas was born and raised in an Indigenous community in the country town of Warrnambool, Australia. He moved to Melbourne to pursue a scientific career, after 1.5 years into a PhD program at Monash University, he discontinued this degree to pursue his passion in education.

Showing thousands of people that the stereotype of Indigenous people as drunks wandering around a desert was not true, was one of Thomas's proudest moments (3/5). "It was a proud moment for me to be able to break that stereotype."
