Welcome to this week’s NextSense Institute Podcast, and this week we’ve got something a bit different for you. We want to share the podcast of some colleagues of ours at Macquarie University, and it’s called the ‘Resourceful HDR Podcast.’
Now there’s an episode they did with Isaac Roberts, who is a student at Macquarie University, and he is an indigenous man, with ties to the east coast of Queensland and New South Wales; but he lost his hearing as a result of illness. And Isaac talks about going through the HSC, beginning university with a range of challenges. And we feel like this is the perfect topic for our podcast series as well. So this week, I’m going to stop talking and encourage you to go to the link in the show notes and listen to Isaac.
