In 1995 I studied for my Graduate Diploma in Science Communication at the Australian National University. Most of the work was done with Questacon - The National Science and Technology Centre in Canberra. Check out some great interactive stuff at the Questacon Pages.
The course involves travelling around Australia performing science shows with the Shell Questacon Science Circus:
There were 14 other people in the group in 1995. As well as the shows, we wrote articles, did interviews on radio, TV and in newspapers to promote the tours. Other parts of the course involved writing for the media, designing an interactive exhibition, writing media releases and completing a major assignment. My research was into academic publishing on the web. The survey is still available for perusal only, or you may like to look at the results.
This is the group of scholars, and here I am doing a show.
