Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition

Future Science Talks: Comedy Edition returns after sold-out shows at the Sydney Comedy Festival and Science Week!

Each show features 5 scientists (30 in total across all 6 shows), who have partnered with comedians to bring laughter to their science talks.

Laugh and learn at the same time!

How is Australia leading the world in psychedelic therapies? Do kangaroos have friends? Can we cultivate meat? And can science predict the next gen of emojis?

Come hear the answers to these questions and more from Sydney’s best new and emerging scientists.

This is a joint production by Future Science Talks and the Sydney Comedy School.
