Ultimo Science Festival

Description:
You might remember these ‘science’ folk from popular inventions like penicillin, DNA, and lava lamps. Well the crazy cats are at it again and celebrating their inventive antics at a ten-day inner city fair as part of National Science Week. Don your best lab coat and head in for pub events, talks and family fun. Highlights include ‘Flesh’, an adults-only session on the potential feats of the human body and a whizz-bang geek speed-dating session, where you can put the hard word on whichever robot designer or indoor air pollution expert catches your eye. – JB
