The Rough Science YouTube channel is 6 subscribers away from 1000! When we hit the milestone, I'm dropping a Q&A video. Ask me anything! From "What's your favourite experiment?" to "What's the worst thing you've accidentally set on fire?" Actually, maybe not that last one. Or... maybe exactly that one. Drop your questions below. 👇 (And subscribe via 👉 https://www.youtube.com/ )

Know anyone running holiday programs in January?
Rough Science runs hands-on STEM workshops for holiday care, libraries, schools, and corporate teams throughout Melbourne. Think: launching water rockets, building earthquake-proof structures, creating circuits that actually work.
If you know someone scrambling to fill their January schedule, send them our way. 😃🧪💥

Come see "A Play Written by ChatGPT" this Science Week!
Maybe you've heard of ChatGPT...maybe you've used it...but how does it actually work?
Come see ChatGPT to generate a Three Act Play with creative contributions from you, the audience. These words will then be performed by actors as they attempt to humanise the machine-generated scripts of plays that have never been seen before (and possibly never seen again…).
The results could possibly be funny. Maybe even dramatic? Almost certainly unintentionally hilarious.
Along the way, we will venture into how AI actually works, the Turing Test, and the role of AI in our future lives and artistic endeavours. Join us for an evening that's part theatrical extravaganza, part intellectual exploration, and wholly unforgettable!

Sad news. I just heard that Mike Gore, the founder of
Questacon, has died.
I remember when he brought science demos to Mildura in 1989. I was in grade 6, and got into a conversation with him about Fibonacci patterns in nature.
Condolences to all his loved ones.
