There’s no such thing as a free lunch, they say. And they’re right. But this one will be different. Want to discover the next David Attenborough? The next Carl Sagan? The next David Suzuki? Well this is the place. Don’t miss this exclusive first-come-first-served lunch and you’ll be on the inside track to see some of Australia’s best scientists pitch their unique stories to you, schooled by a top international science production commissioning team. You’ll be amazed. Some of you may even salivate. And we’re hoping some of you will bark.
