Comments on: Bonzer science http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/08/05/bonzer-science/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

By all the "science" promoting one foodstuff/supplement/activity one week and condemning it the next.

Regardless of what you might have seen on the Simpsons it doesn't happen in our toilets---it sort just all rushes down in a chaotic mess. I got very excited the first time I saw an American style flush. Hypnotising. I doubt too many people will get the toilet to swirl here in Oz.

I used to always see him on TV during Science Week, and he's a legend, a true science ambassador. He has done a lot to make science cooler to young Australians, including writing funny and accessible books about science and reinforcing proper scientific method in the minds of his young readers, and featuring on our national youth radio station Triple J every week doing scientific Q&A sessions. He won the Ignobel Award a few years back for engaging hundreds of young Australians in a scientific study to see how body hair affects belly button lint. He's so passionate and fun, and he truly loves science, plus he's been getting political recently and drawing public attention to scientific issues, which is even better. Dr Karl is a god. Love him.

I live 5 miles away from a town of 14,000 an have bright shining stars whenver the clouds roll back. Engineers' week is this week and Science Week is the 9 days Phil mentioned. The more than 400 events are listed at the following site. http://www.scienceweek.info.au/Pages/index.aspx Something for everybody, but remember - my country is about 3000 kilometres across, so choose a city and stick to it. As an engineer and scientist, I really enjoy introducing young folk to the real world - the one Phil inhabits. Take a look at nysf.edu.au to see one of the things that I enjoy.
