Vital Science is an excellent book for the whole family, there is something in there for everyone; the benefits of cockroach milk, baby wasp assassins, intelligent birds and so much more. You will be more knowledgeable just from listening to this podcast! All opinions belong to Dr Karl.

In 2012 Karl was delighted to have Asteroid 18412 named after him. Asteroid Dr Karl/18412 was discovered by Robert H. McNaught at the Siding Spring Observatory in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia, on June 13, 1993. In March 2012 he was named as a National Living Treasure by the National Trust of Australia (NSW).

In 2016 Dr Karl was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Karl has degrees in Physics and Maths, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine and Surgery and has worked as a physicist, tutor, film-maker, car mechanic, labourer, and as a medical doctor at the Kids’ Hospital in Sydney.

Dr Karl is currently the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at Sydney University, where his ‘mission’ is to spread the good word about science and its benefits.

His enthusiasm for science is totally infectious and no one is better able to convey the excitement and wonder of it all than Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
