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.
