I Fucking Love Science, Live!

Overview

Science blogger Elise Andrew accidentally outed herself as a woman earlier this year by dropping a link to her twitter account onto her star Facebook page I Fucking Love Science. It set off a storm of surprised commentary. This, despite the fact that she’d never really been in the closet about her identity and, as she said herself on Twitter: “Is this really 2013?” Lucky for you, though, the fact that it is 2013 means Elise is coming to Sydney for an evening at the museum with I Fucking Love Science Live!. She’s taking over the Powerhouse for one night of science, the loving of this said science and some possible barnacle penises.

Not one to science communicate alone, she’ll be joined by co-host Derek Muller and a plethora of fellow science stars. There’ll be local stalwarts Dr Karl, Nobelled scientist Brian Schmidt and Nerd Niter Justine Rogers. And also imported stars, like Phil Plait — who writes Bad Astronomy — along with MinutePhysics' Henry Reich and Dr Carin Bondar of animal-prying Wild Sex.

Update: I Fucking Love Science has officially sold out, but a final hundred tickets will still go on sale at 12.30pm Friday, July 5.
