Karl Kruszelnicki used to be a "proper pukka scientist, engineer and doctor", but is currently an author and science commentator on radio and television. He is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney, in the Science Foundation of the Physics Department. Away from the media, he has worked as a physicist, labourer, roadie for bands (including Bo Diddley), car mechanic, filmmaker, hospital scientific officer, biomedical engineer (when he designed and built a machine to pick up electrical signals from the human retina), TV weatherman, and medical doctor at The Kids Hospital in Sydney. In addition to his degrees in Physics and Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, and Medicine and Surgery, he has studied several non-degree years at various universities in Astrophysics, Computer Science and Philosophy. He speaks at primary, secondary and tertiary institutions, and is an after-dinner speaker, and corporate video writer and presenter. In the media, he was a writer and presenter for the first series of Quantum, and has been a science reporter on TV ever since (The Midday Show, Good Morning Australia, etc). In radio, he speaks on-air for about 4 hours every week. This includes a national weekly, 1-hour science talkback show on Triple J - which attracts up to 300,000 people (about 1.5% of the Australian population). This show sometimes "crashes" the switchboard, when the number of incoming calls reaches 7,000 per 15 minute window. He has made two cassettes, and written 17 books. His hobbies include travelling through the outback, family fun, fitness, music, dancing a lot, and writing for 4WD magazines. His last four popular science books have all been No. 1 Popular Science best sellers in Australia (according to the New Scientist). His 18th book "Munching Maggots, Noah's Flood and TV Heart Attacks and other cataclysmic science moments ", made him the best-selling popular science author in Australia. He is now writing his 19th book on scientific and engineering innovation. He's also loose in cyberspace, with his own official website. This is it. That's Karl. so who's Lola? Some of Karl's current radio times (local time) in Australia are: Thursday. Triple J with Sarah Macdonald 1100 - 1200, Australia wide. 2BL Sydney with Sally Loane 1015 - 1030, covering all of NSW 3LO Melbourne with Derek Guille 1430 - 1500, covering all of VIC. Karl Kruszelnicki. Karl Kruszelnicki AM (born Karl Sven Woytek Sas Konkovitch Matthew Kruszelnicki ; 1948), often referred to as "Dr Karl" , [2] is an Australian science communicator and popularizer, [2] who is known as an author, and as a science commentator on Australian radio and television. Contents. Early life Education Career Television Journalism, radio and podcasts Politics Personal life Recognition and awards Selected publications See also References External links. Kruszelnicki is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow in the Science Foundation for Physics at the School of Physics, University of Sydney. [3] Early life. When Kruszelnicki was two years old, his parents became concerned about the risk of Sweden being overrun by Russia and decided to flee the country. Before boarding a boat bound for America, Karl became ill with fever following a smallpox vaccination. Worried for his health, his parents decided not to board the boat. "Luck has it that the next ship went to Australia, so that is where we ended up. It is amazing how fate can take you in unexpected directions." [6] On arrival in Australia, the family were tenanted at the migrant camp in Bonegilla, Victoria. They remained there for three years [7] before settling in the city of Wollongong, New South Wales. Kruszelnicki talks of his childhood as a refugee in Wollongong as being difficult, and of desperately trying to fit in. "We weren't particularly liked and I got bullied at school a lot. Anybody who was not an Irish Catholic was considered an outsider." [6] He found an escape in the Wollongong Library and his quest for knowledge began. "I got into science fiction and funny stuff like that. And the librarians looked after me." [8] Education. Kruszelnicki attended Edmund Rice Christian Brothers College in Wollongong, New South Wales. [9] After high school, he attended the University of Wollongong, completing a Bachelor of Science majoring in physics in 1968. [10] In 1980, Kruszelnicki was awarded a Master of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New South Wales. He completed a Bachelor of Medicine and a Bachelor of Surgery at Sydney University in 1986. [10] Career. After high school, Kruszelnicki's first job was ditch digger in the Wollongong suburb of Dapto. [11] Other odd jobs between careers included filmmaker, car mechanic, TV weatherman, and also as roadie for Slim Dusty, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. [12] He worked for a time as a taxi driver in Sydney, and on one occasion was beaten unconscious after picking up a passenger trying to escape a group of men. [1] After graduating from university at age 19, Kruszelnicki took a job as a physicist working for a steel works in his home town of Wollongong. Here he was required to test the strength of steel made for use in Melbourne's West Gate Bridge, which was under construction at the time. He designed a machine to test the steel. When asked to fake the results of his tests, he decided to resign. [11] In the early 1980s he worked for ophthalmologist Fred Hollows. His Masters of Biomedical Engineering allowed him to design and build a machine to pick up electrical signals off the human retina to diagnose certain eye diseases. [13] He commenced his degree in medicine at the University of Sydney at the age of 32, graduating in 1986. From here he began work at a number of hospitals around Sydney, including the Children's Hospital in Camperdown. [14] He talks fondly of his time as a children's doctor, however he left this profession after witnessing the first child die from whooping cough in twenty years. This came about, he says, after a television program tried to create controversy by presenting the efficacy of vaccinations with a false balance. This caused a drop in herd immunity, and eventually the death of this child. "That very strongly influenced me to go into the media, because I felt like I could do more good there (convincing people to vaccinate). And as a result, I gave up the best job of my life, which was being a doctor in a kids' hospital, so I could do more good in the community." [15] Television. Kruszelnicki presented the first series of Quantum (replaced by Catalyst ) in 1985. As a science communicator and presenter, he appears on the Seven Network's Weekend Sunrise and on ABC TV. From early 2008 to 2010 he co-hosted a TV series called Sleek Geeks with Adam Spencer. Journalism, radio and podcasts. Kruszelnicki does a number of weekly radio shows. His hour-long show on ABC radio station Triple J has been going on in one form or another since 1981; this weekly science talkback show is broadcast on Thursday mornings from 11:00 am to midday and attracts up to 300,000 listeners; it is also available as a podcast. [16] Kruszelnicki also often helps with other science and education Triple J promotions such as the Sleek Geek Week roadshow with Adam Spencer and Caroline Pegram. He and Adam Spencer released the Sleek Geeks podcast regularly until December 2015. [17] For many years, until March 2020, Kruszelnicki appeared on a live weekly late-night link-up on BBC Radio 5 Live's Up All Night , usually with Rhod Sharp (Thursdays 03:00 – 04:00 UK time), answering science questions. [18] Kruszelnicki writes a regular column for Australian Geographic magazine, called 'Need to Know', which is republished as a blog on the magazine's website. [20] He has also written for the Sydney Morning Herald ’s Good Weekend magazine. [21] Politics. Kruszelnicki was an unsuccessful candidate for the Australian Senate in the 2007 Australian federal election. He was placed number two on the Climate Change Coalition ticket in New South Wales. [22] In 2015, Kruszelnicki appeared in an Australian Government advertising campaign, for the recently published intergenerational report. He had previously agreed to do the campaign, believing it would be a “non-political, bipartisan, independent report.” After its publication however, he backed away from the campaign, describing it as “flawed”. “How can you possibly have a report that looks at the next 40 years and doesn't mention climate change? It should have acknowledged that climate change is real and we cause it and it will be messy.“ [23] Personal life. He met his wife Mary in his first year of medical school. They have three children together: Karl, Alice and Lola. [24] Kruszelnicki is a sufferer of the condition prosopagnosia, meaning he lacks the ability to recognise faces. To help him recognise co-workers, he has been known to carry a seating map of familiar office spaces. [25] He puts the cause of his condition down to having an unhappy, lonely childhood, saying that it impeded the development of the part of his brain responsible for remembering faces. [14] Recognition and awards. In 2000, the Australian Financial Review Internet Awards awarded Kruszelnicki the Best Science and Technology Website. [26] In the 2001 honours list, he was awarded the Centenary Medal "for major service in raising public awareness of the importance of science and technology".

It is very pleasing to reward so many talented science students, across all undergraduate years. The Foundation awards 20 scholarships to recognize excellence and to encourage further study in physics. For 2017 the number of female recipients were lower than we had hoped, a result that can be improved especially as the ISS continues to show leadership in the gender equity and diversity space. The Foundation has been able to support the School in several ways, with a total of $300,000 transferred in 2017. Support was provided to our Julius Sumner Miller Fellow, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM, and to Dr Chris Stewart. This is a very pleasing outcome and we gratefully acknowledge all donations to the Foundation and the Messel Endowment to enable this support to continue.

TABLE OF CONTENTS DR KARL KRUSZELNICKI SOUR/ACID SWEET BITTER SALT UMAMI COOL READS DR KARL KRUSZELNICKI When NASA classified Karl as non-astronaut material in 1981 he walked straight into ABC Radio station Double J and offered to talk about the Space shuttle launch. They said ‘Okay’ and his radio career took off from there. ‘Great Moments In Science’ ran on Double J while Karl moonlighted as a medical student. Since then, his media career has exploded from radio, to TV, books, newspapers, magazines, scripting, professional speaking, and of course, the Net. Karl made his TV debut in 1985 as the presenter of the first series of Quantum. Since 1986 he has reported science on the Midday Show, Good Morning Australia (including a full-time stint in 1991-2 as the TV Weatherman and science reporter), the Today Show and Sunrise.

  • Food with Miguel Maestre
    FOOD WITH MIGUEL MAESTRE ELVIS DINNER PARTY Last month was the 35th Anniversary of the passing of Elvis Presley. Everyone alive at the time remembers where they were that August day in ‘77 when Elvis died. This week Amanda and Miguel teamed up to throw an Elvis inspired dinner party. Can the pair create that feeling of nostalgia by throwing a dinner party fit for The King? SPECIAL GUESTS ASH LONDON With previous experience in radio as a writer and interviewer, Ash lists some of her favourite music memories as dancing to Joy Division with The Wombats, and discussing colonics with MGMT. Ouch. Before all this silliness came about, Ash was out seeing the world, living it large on London’s eastside and sneaking into some of the world’s greatest gigs. This passion for travel and music all sprang from a time in her childhood when her family was stationed in the Philippines. With music TV being one of the few channels available in English, it wasn’t long before a young Ash was immersed in everything dance, rock and pop. It was also in this time that Ash’s strange obsession with boy bands began. Going through periods of veganism, undercuts, op-shops and baking, Ash has an adventurous spirit that’s willing to try it all. Thankfully, her passion for music has always been her constant, and now she’s sharing it with ELEVEN. You can see Ash and get your weekly music fix with Channel Eleven’s The Loop every Saturday 9am - 11.30am. DR KARL Whenever the announcer gives out the phone number for Karl Kruszelnicki's famous Science Talkback show on Triple J, on Thursday mornings - so many calls come in that the ABC switchboard crashes! Karl's media career began in 1981, when he started presenting 'Great Moments In Science ' on Double J to pay his way through medical school.
