Physics in the Pub Sydney

As part of Australian Science Week 2018 I spent seven hours on a bus to talk for 8 minutes about nuclear physics in a pub in Sydney. Totally worth it. Apologies for the terrible lighting – there may be a better video on the way. Also, occasional swearing!

Alchemy on ABC Canberra (2015)

Sunday Brunch is the Sunday morning show on ABC Canberra 666, hosted by the fantastic Lish Fejer.
