Dr Karl takes us on an entertaining and mind-bending voyage through science.
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki tackles CO2 levels and climate change, gravitational waves, breaking the seal and diet drinks. Are we living in the most peaceful time in human history and is this generation the smartest?
Plus, how today’s most widely given vaccine is one against a coronavirus, and we’ve been using it for half-a-century, and each year, it saves billions (that’s right, billions, not millions) of lives each year.
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM just loves science to pieces, and has been spreading the word in print, on TV and radio, and online via social media for more than thirty years.
The author of 47 books (and counting), Dr Karl is a lifetime student with degrees in physics and mathematics, biomedical engineering and medicine and surgery.
He has worked as a physicist, labourer, roadie for bands, car mechanic, filmmaker, biomedical engineer, taxi driver, television weatherman, and medical doctor at the Children’s Hospital in Sydney.
Since 1995, Dr Karl has been the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney.
In 2019 he was awarded the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for the Popularisation of Science, of which previous recipients include Margaret Mead, David Attenborough, Bertrand Russell and David Suzuki.
