Description: As promised at the event! With many thanks to SciTech's Renae Sayers for allowing me to record the show, the whole SciTech and backstage team for helping make this happen. The Profs and Pints Fringe World show was sold out on the 10th February, but I was given the opportunity to record the live show.

And how will we use science to crack the frontier issues facing the fabrics of our society? Join Perth's top thinkers as they explore evidence-based decisions in this crazy knee-jerk world.
