DR KARL A Periodic Tale // Sunday 3 November // 2:00pm - 3:00pm // Venue: Katoomba Community Centre // Part of the 2024 Blue Mountains Writers' Festival
How did a shy Polish immigrant kid – Karl Sven Woytek Sas Konkovitch Matthew Kruszelnicki – evolve into the fabulously eccentric Dr Karl? With 48 books under his belt, this most definitely is not Dr Karl’s first rodeo, but it is his first memoir.
A lifetime learner with degrees in physics and mathematics, biomedical engineering, medicine and surgery, and careers as varied as physicist, labourer, roadie, car mechanic, filmmaker, biomedical engineer, taxi driver, TV weatherman and medical doctor, it’s hard to know where to start!
Join us for this special festival session with Dr Karl, a champion of science and a truly intriguing man.
