The finest voices in Australian science writing.
This much-loved anthology – now in its sixteenth year – selects the most riveting, entertaining, poignant and fascinating science stories from Australian writers, poets and scientists.
The Best Australian Science Writing 2026 anthologises another landmark year in science. From AI to the climate crisis, and the changing nature of what science looks like, there’s been plenty of ground to cover. Science writers have been vital in decoding these – at times worrying – glimpses of the future, and the many solutions that scientists are working on.
With a foreword by Sujatha Raman, this collection includes the shortlisted entries for the UNSW Press Bragg Prize for Science Writing 2026.
