In January, Professor Richard Scolyer was named joint Australian of the year with his colleague and friend, Professor Georgina Long. The pair were recognised for their lifesaving melanoma research. Richard has dedicated his life to cancer research and treatment, but 18 months ago, his world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. He's since become patient zero for a groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment, based on the melanoma discovery he pioneered with Georgina Long. Professor Scolyer joins us in today's deep dive to talk about the future of brain cancer treatment, and the legacy he's hoping to carve out. You can order Richard's book 'Brainstorm' here.

The average Australian watches porn for the first time before their 14th birthday, according to a new report from the national violence prevention organisation Our Watch. They surveyed nearly 1,000 young people aged 14 to 20 to learn more about the impact of pornography on young people. Nearly three-quarters of respondents said porn is degrading to women, and that it shows aggression and violence against women. A third of respondents said they use porn to educate themselves about sex. So, does it matter, and should we care? Our Watch warns online porn can negatively affect young people’s attitudes towards gender, sex and relationships. And, it can lead to violence. Our Watch CEO Patty Kinnersly joins us in today's deep dive to talk us through the report's findings. You can find more resources from Our Watch here.
