Description
We are proposing a Queensland live tour of the popular podcast “Probably Science” featuring local scientists in Feburary 2019. “PROBABLY SCIENCE” is a weekly comedy/science podcast with American comedian co-hosts Andy Wood and Matt Kirshen, both with STEM university degrees. The show focuses on the latest science with a light comedic atmosphere that imparts knowledge and humanises the research and researchers. The shows open with short performances from comedians alternating with local younger scientists. Then the main show involves the hosts and a featured senior researcher from a local University in a panel type discussion around the scientist’s expertise.
