Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki is one of Australia’s 100 National Living Treasures with a media career spanning more than 30 years. He has authored 38 books to date and his accolades range from the lg-Nobel Prize from Harvard University for his groundbreaking research into belly button fluff and why it is almost always blue, to helping invent the word ‘selfie’, to being one of the first Australian Apple Masters, of whom only 100 were appointed worldwide.

A lifetime student, Karl has earned degrees in Physics, Maths, Biomedical Engineering, Medicine and Surgery. He now serves as 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 the scientific world than Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki.
