Dr Karl's Great Moments in Science
Calling all science lovers! Have your burning science questions, be they chemical, physical, technological, astrophysical or astronomical, answered in Dr Karl’s Great Moments in Science.
The search for truth has always been hard. But did you know that a whale and a fish can keep on swimming after they have died (the reason is physics, not biology) and that we are running out of sand (yup, they had to build the world’s tallest building in Dubai with Australian sand)?
Find out if it’s true that Pterodactyls were flying, two-legged dinosaurs, whether we can both stop and reverse Climate Change with today’s technology, and what is the quickest rate that humans can eat in kilograms per minute.
Your whole household can join Dr Karl from the comfort of home and find the answers to questions you’ve been wondering about and questions you’ve never thought of, while having fun!

Corey Tutt - Our Deadly Science
Australia’s First Nations Peoples have the longest continuing culture on Earth, passing on the lessons of land, sea and sky to future scientists through stories, song and dance.
As the 2021 Sydney Science Festival Ambassador, Corey Tutt delivers a keynote address celebrating the breadth and depth of knowledge of our first scientists – from bush medicine, astronomy, engineering and forensic science to chemistry, land management and ecology. With knowledge acquired through Community consultation, he introduces the audience to boundary-pushing scientists, both past and present.
Hear, too, how Corey continues this tradition with his work at Australia’s leading science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program, Deadly Science – an initiative he founded in 2018.
