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. Since then, his media career has exploded from radio to include 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 Channel 7's breakfast program Sunrise. In 2008 he completed a series for ABC TV with Adam Spencer called ‘Sleek Geeks' - the pair teamed up again in 2010 to produce a second successful high-rating series for ABC 1 TV. Karl also popularises science on ABC radio stations across Australia and, on the BBC, for several hours each week. Karl has written (so far) 31 books, beginning with ‘Great Moments In Science' in 1984, and includes such titles as ‘It Ain't Necessarily So...'Bro' (2006), which was launched, quite literally, via rocket at Sydney's Bondi Beach (a world first). Karl talks science on Triple J Thursday 11.00-12.00 Dr Karl joins Zan Rowe on Mornings, for a blistering one-hour science talkback. Listen live on Triple J, or subscribe to the podcast.

And he is - you can’t miss Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, the self-confessed rev- head who has worked as a physicist, taxi driver and doctor but these days is famous for spreading the news about quirky science. It’s not just his shirt which is loud. Comedian Gabby Millgate is not quite sure why she was invited to tag along today for Dr Karl’s regular Thursday gig with ABC radio.

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.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.
