National Science Week – Beaker Street (Hobart)


Friday 16 August & Saturday 17 August
6:00pm – Midnight.

Hobart Town Hall and TMAG.

The Australian Academy of Science is a proud partner of BeakerStreet@TMAG.

 

You are invited to join the Academy for four fascinating talks at Hobart Town Hall, featuring Academy Fellows, Professor Martina Stenzel, Dr Steve Rintoul, Professor Jenny Graves, Professor Mike Archer and Robyn Williams. Following each talk, all guests are invited (and musically escorted!) across the road to Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for more science, including talks, workshops, art, music, food, bars and more. Tickets to each talk are sold separately. Check www.beakerstreet.com.au for details and tickets.

 

Friday 16 August 

5.30pm: Professor Martina Stenzel – The chemistry of life

6.30pm: Dr Steve Rintoul in conversation with Professor Robyn Williams – Ice, wind and waves: In search of climate clues in the Southern Ocean

7.30pm: Professor Jenny Graves in conversation with Professor Robyn Williams – The future of men?

8.30pm: Professor Mike Archer – Bringing back the dead: why extinction should not have to be forever.

 

About Beaker St:

During National Science Week in Hobart, BeakerStreet@TMAG is a pop-up science bar, a parlour of curiosities, an inn for inquiring minds. Come along to quench your thirst…for knowledge. You will encounter live music, zoological oddities, photographic inspiration, amiable wandering scientists, seriously good food and drink, and such a bounty of distractions that you may forget to go home. Entry at TMAG is free, but tickets must be purchased for some events.
