Sydney Science Forum
Public lectures by the brightest minds in science
Every year, a selection of Sydney’s top scientists take part in the Sydney Science Forum, a public lecture series designed to bring the latest in scientific research, ideas, possibilities and innovations to the Sydney community.
In 2009, the Forum will incorporate five FREE public science lectures, presented by scientists from the University of Sydney and elsewhere, and our Julius Sumner Miller Fellow, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
Feed your mind. Learn something new. Meet the amazing people who are taking our knowledge of the world to a whole new level.
