About the Author

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki burst onto the scene in 1981 when he began presenting the Great Moments In Science segment on radio Double J (the precursor to Triple J) to pay his way through medical school. With his trademark fast-talking, zany take on anything and everything scientific, he quickly built an audience keen to learn more about our amazing world and be entertained at the same time. Since then, his media career has exploded and now includes TV, books, newspapers, magazines, scripting, professional speaking, and of course, the Net.


Dr Karl Kruszelnicki is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney. He is a qualified medical doctor, engineer, physicist and mathematician. He has been named one of Australia's National Living Treasures.

Dr Karl brings science to the airwaves every Thursday on the popular Science segment on the triple j Mornings show. He is gaining even more popularity with his newest podcast Shirtloads of Science and was the host of the Discovery Channel's ten-part TV series Dr Karl's Outrageous Acts of Science.
