Summary:A special Beaker Street Festival event.
Presenter(s):
- Dr Karl
- Caitlin Silberberg
Join the legendary Dr Karl Kruszelnicki for a wild ride through surviving a blizzard in Antarctica (barefoot), test-driving four wheel drives across the Simpson Desert, the reality of beer goggles, and how he helped bring the word ‘selfie’ into the English language. Along the way, revisit Dr Karl’s glorious television past, from TV weather reports to Play School appearances.
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki is a science communicator, author, and broadcaster whose decades across radio, television, and print have made him one of Australia’s most recognisable science voices. A physicist and engineer, he has built a career answering delightfully odd questions.
MC, Zoe Kean, is a science writer and communicator focused on evolution, the environment, and ecology, Zoe Kean explores how life adapts, survives, and gets weird in the process.
Houseband
Stevie and the Bunsen Burners return to provide scintillating musical accompaniment to the stellar line up of talks & events. These science-fiction-cabaret-game-show dream girlies are proudly non-scientific, yet empirically proven to warm up your night and get your toes tapping.
This event is presented in partnership with Beaker Street and Inspiring Australia Tasmania.
