About That Science Gang

“Hey, aren’t you That Science Guy?”

​

In the late 1990’s I was lucky enough to land my dream job -- as the “Science Host” of a national kids TV program (Channel 9’s Y?). For a few years I stood in front of a camera and blew things up, hugged snakes, mixed chemicals (with all sorts of surprising results) and generally had an awesome time!

​

A few years later (and after a few more TV shows) I was asked to present some live science shows as a fundraiser for the MS Society of SA. That sounded like a great idea! But, what could we call the program?

​

When people recognised me in public, they tended to ask: “Hey, aren’t you that science guy?”. Well, that seemed like a fun name for a program!

​

A couple of years later and I was fortunate enough to add a few passionate science communicators / writers / performers to the company and we became That Science Gang.

​

Since 2002, That Science Gang has produced and presented a wide variety of science-themed edutainment experiences, including ‘stand-up’ science shows, theatre performances, workshops, tours and more!

​

In 2020, we'll be travelling about Australia with our sensational science shows, as well as two exciting science theatre pieces. Plus we'll be continuing our 10 year relationship with SA Water.

​

 We can't wait to see you in 2020!
