Some say that ‘silence is golden’ but Dr Karl prefers to shout his love of science from the rooftops, and no one conveys the excitement and wonder of science quite like him! · What’s the secret to reading a dog’s tail wagging, so you won’t get bitten? · Does cranberry juice cure urinary tract infections? · Is the hookah really a safer way to smoke? · Is radiation really green? · Is the purpose of the peacock’s tail to attract females? · How to survive a plane crash, and are moths drawn to a flame or light? Join us for the answers to all these curly questions (and more) on Life, the Universe and Everything. If you like your science fun and unpredictable you’d be mad not to join all-Australian science geek as he takes us on another thoroughly entertaining exploration of the world around us. This event will be followed by an opportunity to purchase signed copies of Dr Karl’s 27th (yes that’s right!) book, ‘Science is Golden’ (Harper Collins). Dr Karl Kruszelnicki is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney. He is also a bestselling author and a popular science commentator on radio and television. He appears on Triple J and other ABC radio stations, on BBC radio, and is one half of the ‘Sleek Geeks’ (ABC TV). Dr Karl’s ‘Science is Golden’ is based on his popular Good Weekend column, ‘Mythconceptions’. Science Outside the Square is a program of the Royal Institution of Australia (RiAus). It is sponsored by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Government of South Australia, and The Advertiser.
