In part two of this NITV Radio interview, First Nations distiller Claire Ryder discusses how STEM education and entrepreneurship drive economic empowerment for Indigenous women. She encourages women to embrace science, view it as an accessible "cheat code to life," and push through male-dominated spaces. Ryder highlights the importance of balancing knowledge-sharing with cultural protocols, returning business profits back into community empowerment, and inspiring future generations by showing how science and traditional knowledge work hand-in-hand.
Clair Rder is presenting ‘Bush Alchemy’, a 90‑minute guided experience during National Science Week 2026.
This session blends scientific insight with tasting raw bushtucker ingredients. Participants then experience how those same botanicals evolve when infused into spirits and incorporated into food.
