The University of Sydney presents

Dr Karl's Three Decades of Greatest Hits

14 Apr 2026

Sold Out

Join us for a very special celebration of Dr Karl Kruszelnicki’s three decades as the University of Sydney’s Julius Sumner Miller Fellow.

For over three science-to-the-brim decades, Dr Karl has taken us on wild rides through black holes and belly-button fluff (Ig Nobel Laureate), climate change and electric cars, earworms and gravitational waves. Now we want to celebrate some of his most exhilarating, high-energy, curiosity-driven, experimentally verified moments. See him fly (pulling 5 Gs!!) with the RAAF Roulettes, withstand a blizzard outdoors in Antarctica, save a life in the Himalayas, test drive 4WDs in the outback for a few decades, survive coming off the race track in an uncontrolled spin at 200 kph, glory in seven years of Sleek Geeks around Australia, fill the Sydney Town Hall several times – and lots more. (All these exploits involve Real Science, of course!)

Come along to enjoy some of his greatest hits, say thank you, share your own memories and help us celebrate a fellow who’s ignited science passion nationwide. Perfect for all ages!
