Science-based film screenings and discussions at the NFSA

Presented in collaboration with Australian National Centre for Public Awareness of Science, Australian National University.
Lead program moderator
Dr Anna-Sophie Jürgens is a Senior Lecturer in Science Communication at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, ANU and the Head of POPSICULE, ANU’s Science in Popular Culture and Entertainment Hub. Dr Jürgens’ research explores cultural meanings of science, the history of (violent) clowns and mad scientists, science and humour, and the interface between science and (public) art.
"The Science.Art.Film. screenings are such great spaces to see adults explore their curiosity about the scientific ideas in these films! It's a wonderful and safe environment that allows me to think about, question and then open myself up to new ideas. Bringing the experts and scientists on the stage expands the horizons of what I know about academia in Canberra and Australia and I can learn about the myriad and sometimes obscure research that is currently being done in the world."Crystal-Leigh Clitheroe, ANU, audience member and past panellist
