To kick off National Science Week, join Sydney Science Trail for a family-friendly science community day at the Australian Museum, hosted by the Surfing Scientist, Ruben Meerman.

The Museum will be bursting with activity, and it's all completely free! See spectacular science demonstrations, ask Dr Karl your curliest science question and giggle along to silly science humour. Chat to scientists and discover the latest innovations in their research at the Science Expo. Dinosaur enthusiast in the family? Watch a T.rex Autopsy show, learn about megafauna, and keep your eyes peeled for Winny the Muttaburrasaurus, their roving puppet dinosaur.

Free, but you need to book. General admission includes expo entry, plus all drop-in shows and interactive activities throughout the Museum. Please choose from either the morning (10am - 1.30pm) or afternoon (1.30pm - 5pm) session when registering.

Ruben Meerman appears by arrangement with Claxton Speakers International.

Dr Karl is the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney, and appears courtesy of University of Sydney and the Faculty of Science.
