I’m a Kamilaroi man whose family comes from a little place called Walgett in northern New South Wales. My love of books started when I was around six years old way back in 1998. I had a love of all things animal—the wow and the wonder of why that blue tongue lizard had a blue tongue or why a red belly black snake looks the way it does. This is the stuff that excites me!

The first book I ever read was Reptiles in Colour by Dr Harold Cogger from the University of Canberra. Fast forward a few years to 2018 and I’m sending the same book to a kid just like you. Books gave me a passion and it took a few twists and turns, bumps and lumps, but eventually I found my purpose… DeadlyScience now sends books to kids all over Australia so they can learn to love science too. You can’t be what you can’t see, so my advice to you is to read as many books as humanly possible.

In 2008 I became a zookeeper, which was a childhood dream. I only got there by going to my local library and reading lots of books. When I started DeadlyScience I also had to read all the children’s books on the program before I sent them out to make sure they were extra Deadly for the DeadlyScientists! Not long ago I was named the NSW 2020 Young Australian of the Year for my work with DeadlyScience. This award is great, but you deserve it too. Good science starts with strong, deadly good people and once you understand that key personal ingredient, then anything is possible when you put your mind to it. One day in the future I would love to see kids just like you, finding your own DeadlyScience and writing your own books to inspire the next generation of DeadlyScientists.

In the future I would love to do some TV and podcasts, so we can tell everyone about our amazing Australian animals and science. STEM or STEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Art, Mathematics, creates a lot of hope and amazement… if you can think it, you can be it and if you can believe it, you can do it. Be brave and be deadly and follow your dreams!

Yaama, everyone. My name’s Corey Tutt, and

I’m a science writer and communicator.
