Flinders University animal behaviourist Professor Sonia Kleindorfer will be part of The Science Nation’s first event, The Storytelling of Science, to be held at RiAus on Saturday, 23 May.

As attention spans shrink, engaging others with science is getting harder, but does this have to be the case? Whether it is Archimedes taking a bath or an apple falling on Newton’s head, stories are far more engaging and easier to remember than the facts science has to offer.

See the best in the nation tell their own story of science, and drive their discussion on the stories behind the latest discoveries.

• Time: 2pm to 5pm, 23 May 2015
• Venue: RiAus, The Science Exchange, Adelaide.
• Tickets: $20 online, $25 at the door.
• Refreshments: There will be an intermission where afternoon tea will be served.

Please submit any questions via email.

The other storytellers in Adelaide include: physicist, engineer, science communicator and entertainer, Dr Joel Gilmore; ABC journalist, Carl Smith; and former Catalyst presenter and RiAus Director, Dr Paul Willis. This event will be hosted by physicist and science communicator Dr Andrew Stephenson.
