Scientist Portraits – Story and spectacle

  • From

Elizabeth Blackburn, Fiona Wood, and Graeme Clark. You may have heard of these Australian scientists before, but do you know how they've changed the world for the better? Learn how storytelling meets science.  

Join legendary science journalist and broadcaster Robyn Williams AO in our 45-minute virtual webinar as he introduces scientists from the National Portrait Gallery collection, providing insights into their biographies, identities, and contributions to science. Additionally, an educator from Questacon will lead an associated experiment, allowing students to experience the scientific concepts presented. 

This program is delivered in partnership with Questacon and the National Portrait Gallery.

Bookings are essential. Be there or be square, like a portrait!
