Clio Cresswell is a great ambassador for science, not least because she's so attractive. She also has an amazing gift for public speaking, and uses this not only in the university lecture theatre but also on television, on the radio and now in print. Her radio spots range from short grabs on popular stations to more in-depth (but still accessible) analysis on Australia's public broadcaster. Read some of these here, here, here and here.
There's also a short interview about the book here.

There aren't too many snow storms in Australia! :-)
On the rare occasions when it does snow outside the Snowy Mountains district it's such a bloody panic that roads are often closed anyway.
