A few weeks ago I was able to get along to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://angrybeanie.com/news/wings-over-shellhabour-2026">Wings Over Shellharbour 2026 air show</a>. Of course it helped that it was literally just down the road.While I was there I thought I would try and get some video and put together something that could be semi-coherent.So here's the first part.It's not perfect by any means, but I think I've learnt a bunch about planning BEFORE I go out with the cameras. At the very least I need to be able to sort out a decent possie for taking videos and pictures of the aircraft.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/4HAwscr77B0"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4HAwscr77B0" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>

For many involved in STEMM fields, heading overseas to gain experience from centres of excellence, to work, or to just find something different has become part of their STEMM journeys. For this episode I thought I would catch up with someone who's currently taking that step and seems to be doing pretty well at it.Dr Natalie Matosin is Post Doctoral Fellow at the Max Planc institute of Psychiatry in Munich, and a Forbes Top 30 under 30 entrant. No pressure.
