Sci Flicks is back and better than ever! Our first episode of 2023 sees Marissa sit down with Dr. Nick Tailby to look at a film released just last year.
Marissa is joined by NERAM Art Director Rachel Parsons for this episode of Sci Flicks - a fitting choice, considering we're looking at Night at the Museum!
Marissa is joined by Honours student Kai Allison and PhD candidate Timothy Frauenfelder to discuss palaeontology and the implications behind the scientific themes in Jurassic World Dominion.
The fifth chapter in our collaboration between TuneFM, UNE, and the Belgrave Cinema sees Marissa joined by Associate Professor Melissa Parsons to enlighten us with her knowledge of rivers and river assessment.
The next instalment of the Sci Flicks collaboration sees Marissa chat to Dr. Eddie Sadgrove about Robocop, this month's Sci Flicks feature, and the science behind the premise of a human-robot hybrid and machine learning systems.
UNE's own Dr. Stephen Bosi discusses the classic Spielberg film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind from his unique perspective as a researcher and lecturer in the field of physics.
Dr. Chris Guppy and Dr. Richard Flavel discuss agronomy, the properties of soil, and whether or not interplanetary agriculture would be possible, drawing from the central concept of The Martian.
