Young
Tassie Scientists "90 Seconds of Fame" Competition
To conclude
the Young Tassie Scientists 2005 program, Bernie Hobbs will host
the Young Tassie Scientists 90 Seconds of Fame Competition
on Friday 19 August, 5.00-7.00pm, in Hobart at the University Club.
Bernie is the ABC's "Science Chick" extraordinaire, the
XX-chromosome's equivalent to Dr Karl. Check out her website: https://www.abc.net.au/science/chickscience/#
Here's a chance
for the Young Tassie Scientists to strut their stuff, blow their
trumpet, and tell the world what that hard work they do really is
about -- all in 90 not-too-serious seconds. Powerpoint presentations
will be strictly banned, but any other props (be it animal, mineral
or vegetable) will be highly encouraged. Bernie will host and judge
the competition (she may even take bribes) and for this mega-star
event there'll be a mega-star prize.
The evening
will also include the announcement of this year's "Most Popular
Young Tassie Scientist", based on the online competition that
will be running during NSWk. If you haven't voted for your favourite
Young Tassie Scientist yet, vote now!
Certificates
of Appreciation to all Young Tassie Scientists (past and present)
will also be presented.
The "90
Seconds of Fame Competition" is a free public event, but tickets
will be required for entry. Nibbles
will be served, and drinks will be available at bar prices.
Please contact
Mary Blake (Mary.Blake@utas.edu.au or phone 6226 2125) for tickets
and more information.
