Dr Shane, Dr Lauren, Dr Linden and Dr Ray are in the studio on this father's day show to discuss the father of global warming: Guy Callendar, Eureka awards and Dr Lauren's final show before moving overseas.

First guest: Professor Michael Fuhrer, Director, Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics, Monash University discusses his seven year program into developing technologies to solve the power consumption issues of current electronic components as limitations of manufacturing with silicon are now looming.

Second guest: Guillermo A. Narsilio, ARC Future Fellow, Geotechnical Engineering, University of Melbourne talks about the $11 billion Metro Tunnel rail link project and the opportunity to tap into the geothermal energy underground which has the potential to significantly cut the power cost of keeping the stations cool in summer and heated in winter.

Dr Ray joins Dr Shane in the studio with two studio guests.

First guest is Rachel Fetherston Co-Founder and Publications Authority, Wild Melbourne.

Wild Melbourne, a nature engagement charity that seeks to communicate the value of nature through science, art, community projects and storytelling. The team at Wild Melbourne will soon be launching a national brand, Remember The Wild, to broaden their reach and include more Australians in their mission to bring nature into the everyday.

Second Guest is Dr Karen Lamb, from the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) at Deakin University.

Dr Karen has been welcomed to the inaugural 2017 ""Superstars of STEM"" Program. The program aims to raise the profile of Australia's most dynamic female scientists and technologists. They will then be provided with opportunities to act as role models to inspire young women and girls.
