Description: This is Episode Thirty! Work starts for me again this week, so to save some time, I’m putting this episode online a little earlier than usual. When I was in Sydney recently, I had the chance to talk to Daniel Keogh. He describes himself as an Ex-Hungry Beast idiot and a current ABC Science Show producer, who shares interesting stuff about science, politics, culture, and art. Like my friend Michael McRae, he has qualifications in science communication, having graduated from the Australian National University’s Centre for the Public Awareness of Science – where they were both Science Circus members! His 'Professor Funk' on Youtube can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/TheProfessorFunk. Daniel has done some extremely funny and powerful presentations on scientific topics for ABC’s Hungry Beast TV show, including investigations on Gardasil for Guys, Scientology and even Zombies! He currently works at ABC studios in Ultimo, where we conducted this interview, and he’ll be touring the country for Australia’s Science Week with his show ‘Why We’re the Stupid Species’, details of which will be featured on the Science Week website – at http://www.scienceweek.gov.au/. Additional News: On August 15, 2010, starting from 11am, at the Monash Science Centre, Clayton, Victoria – the Brains Matter podcast will be conducting an interview with one of Australia’s leading palaeontologists, Professor Pat Vickers-Rich, on the topic of “From Slime to Dinosaurs”. Facebook link to the event is here. Check out the Brains Matter podcast site for more at www.brainsmatter.com.
