The future science of the metanormal -
explaining the unexplained with science.

 

There'll be lots of fun when Barry Williams, president of the Australian Skeptics, A/Prof Michael Gillings, Biologist, Macquarie University, Quentin Strauli, Director, Natural Therapy Clinic and others come together and attempt to answer the question: Will science ever explain the unexplained?

Hosted by your community radio station, 2SER 107.3 FM

Wednesday May 10th 2000, 7:00-9:00pm

Harlequin Inn, Harris Street, Pyrmont, Sydney

Discovery National Science Program, produced at the studios of community radio station 2SER 107.3 FM in Sydney (Tuesdays 8 pm) and broadcast nationally by the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (Mondays 6 pm) is hosting a National Science Week session of "Science in the Pub", on May 10, 2000, at the Harlequin Inn, Pyrmont.

The session will look at the plausibility of explaining unexplained events or phenomena with science. "Will the worlds of pure science and the unexplained ever unite?" will be the central theme in the debate. Talent will include hard-lined skeptics, scientists who stand the middle ground and scientists who are willing to look a little further.

This session of 'Science in the Pub' will be recorded by 2SER 107.3 FM and an edited version will be broadcast on the Discovery program in Sydney on Tuesday, May16, 2000 at 8:00pm and on the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia satellite - Comrad Sat - on Monday, May 22, 2000 at 6pm.

For further information on this session contact Lucas Koellen, Mobile 040 974 1134 or call 2SER on 9514-9514 or email them on mailto:radio.2ser-fm@uts.edu.au.
