So many of us were attracted to science by this man.
He was so popular that even the marist brothers had to show us his work.

Is Dr. Karl actually doing any science ‘popularising’ at the moment?

I’m struggling to recall the last time I saw him do anything that wasn’t flogging a book or a lecture/show with Adam.

He’s busy being the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney.
