Karl Kruszelnicki is a physicist and the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney. Adam Spencer is a mathematician and stand-up comic, and hosts the breakfast show on Triple J, Australia’s national pop radio session. As the Sleek Geeks, they have toured Australia several times, “presenting complicated scientific concepts in a fun way”, such as how to barbecue a steak in three seconds using liquid oxygen. Comedy, they say, is a painless way to increase people’s knowledge.
