Dr Karl Kruszelnicki

We are excited to have Dr Karl visit Floriade on Saturday 4 October!

Say hi to Dr Karl at one of the meet and greet sessions and listen to his scientific insight at Stage 88 – check the times below!

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki is the man with the answers when it comes to Science and Technology. His enthusiasm for science is totally infectious and no one is better able to convey the excitement and wonder of it all than Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.

Dr Karl spreads the word about science and its benefits, with weekly radio shows, regular television appearances, magazine articles, podcasts, and 47 (so far) published books.

In 2019 the United Nations awarded Dr Karl the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for the Popularisation of Science at the World Science Forum in Budapest, Hungary. The prize is global recognition of Dr Karl’s gift for science communication. Dr Karl is the first Australian to win the prize.

In 2002, Dr Karl was honoured with the prestigious Ig Nobel prize awarded by Harvard University in the USA for his ground breaking research into “Belly Button Lint and why it is almost always blue”.

In September 2003 Dr Karl was named ‘Australian Father of the Year’ and then received the Member of the Order of Australia Award in the 2006 Australia Day Honours list.

Don’t miss your chance to hear Dr Karl share his knowledge of all things science!
