Whizz Bang Science! Dr Graham returns for July school holidays

Dr Graham is in New Zealand for some mid-winter family fun, delivering entertaining and informative science shows aimed at primary-age children in the Gisborne region, Hawke's Bay and Wellington.

Royal Society Te Apārangi is again delighted to host Dr Graham Walker and his highly enjoyable science shows, this July in Ruatoria, Gisborne, Wairoa and Lower Hutt.

Based at the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, Graham is a veteran of making science engaging for younger audiences.

He believes that science shows can make people more excited about science, encourage them to keep studying it, or even behave in ways that science argues are good choices, like with tackling climate change.
