About the Author

Dr. Joseph Ireland, or Dr. Joe as he is more commonly known, contains a legendary passion for science that goes beyond merely "blowing things up!" He regards science as a unique and powerful tool in the quest for knowing. Dr. Joe and the team at Creating Science ultimately strive to entertain and empower the youth of today with more than just the gift of scientific knowledge; but with an understanding of how science works, how to recognise what is and what isn't science, and how to do it for themselves. Whether you become a future scientist or not, you're going to need science! In other words, we are Creating Science!
