Trivia Academia

If you haven't been playing trivia based on the niche study areas of local PhD candidates, have you *really* been playing trivia? In this special event hosted by local trivia legend Jess McGuire, you'll listen to short presentations by 3 PhD students, each of which will be followed by a round of trivia. This is trivia you may need to cram for - are you game?

Speaker 1: Rohan Byrne, planetary geologist, asks ‘What kind of a thing is a planet?’

Speaker 2: Rebecca Harkins Cross, cultural critic, asks ‘How well do you know Australian cinema?’

Speaker 3: Winnie Orchard, neurologist asks, ‘How does being a parent change the structure of your brain?
