Summary

The formula for science unplugged is pretty simple. Take three of the brightest minds at the World Science Festival Brisbane, and give them a stage for 20 minutes each to share their love of science and the passion of their project. Throw in some Q & A, and deliver to an audience full of curiosity.

In this session you’ll hear from the ABC’s Nate Byrne about his love of all things weather and science related; Niraj Lal will take us on journey to the sustainable cities of the future; and Margaret Ross will enlighten you about the new medical dawn for psychedelic drugs.
