Frequently Asked Questions
Can I contact an ANSTO scientist or subject matter expert to request an interview?
To arrange a media interview, request for comment in a media article, or even a podcast recording with one of ANSTO’s scientists, researchers, or technical subject matter experts, we ask that you reach out to ANSTO’s Media Team as the first point of contact.
ANSTO’s Media Team can help with identifying the relevant experts, organising interviews, answering specific questions, and providing media statements.
