A former roadie, taxi driver, TV weatherman, car mechanic, film maker, labourer and doctor at a children's hospital, Karl has qualifications in science, maths, engineering, medicine and surgery. He is the author of over 16 books, including Latest Great Moments in Science, Bizarre Moments in Science, Sensational Moments in Science and Absolutely Fabulous Moments in Science. Great Australian Facts & Firsts, a series of three children's titles, was published by HarperCollins in August this year.
He spreads the Word of Science on radio Triple J each Thursday at 11am and makes four hours of science reports for ABC radio each week. Karl is also currently featured as the principal personality in the second series of SBS-TV's popular '2nd Opinion' prime time infotainment show.
In his spare time (which he doesn't have enough of), Karl enjoys four-wheel driving through the outback every year and he and his family next want to experience both the Midnight Sun (24 hours of sunlight), and the Midday Night (24 hours of darkness).
