SCIENCE NEWS | Year 12 Science Extension Student, Bianca Tasevski completed her major project on an investigation into the composition and toxicological potential of black tattoo ink available in Australia. She did this in the hopes of bringing awareness and tighter regulations to the use of tattoo ink in Australia because of the carcinogens they contain and the risk this has to the long-term health of people. Bianca reached out to UNSW and worked with Professor Jake Violi there to collect her data using highly specialised equipment (pictured). Professor Violi is now planning to publish the work they did together in a science journal with Bianca as his co-author. This is really great news for Bianca and highlights many of the exciting opportunities available through the St Mary's Science Extension course. Congratulations Bianca, we can't wait to see your published work in the near future!
