CEO of the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) Ryan Winn, has taken the Storytime Pledge!

Name:

Ryan Winn

I grew up to be:

CEO, Australian Council of Learned Academies

Book recommendation:

The Martian, by Andy Weir

This book (even more so than the movie) shows the power of research, and the need for tenacity and trust in science when the going gets hard.

I pledge to read to:

My three boys, Angus (12), Hamish (10) and Oliver (8).

Editor's note: What’s ACOLA? Not a soft drink, for a start! It’s where the Australian Academy of the Humanities, the Australian Academy of Science, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, and the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences come together to contribute expert advice to inform national policy.
