Check out this new cosmic weirdo discovered using @csiro.bsky.social's ASKAP telescope! It spins so slowly that you could watch both the Fellowship of the Ring and the Two Towers and still have time leftover before it finishes a full rotation Read more: theconversation.com/blinking-rad...

Instagram's Twitter-like fall begins...

Using new, advanced telescopes like CSIRO's ASKAP radio telescope has shown this supernova remnant to be closer than previously thought. Discovered in 1988, G278.94+1.35 is estimated to be 8,800 light years away. Now, this figure is at 3,300 light years. Credit: Filipović et al., 2024

Calling all nerds, dorks and the curious... come hang out with me (described as Dr Karl meets Barbie) next weekend - there will be puns, jabs at the patriarchy, yoga and quantum physics!! Tix: sydneycomedyfest.com.au/event/rachel-r…

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate! Especially to those who celebrate the hatching of the Bunny from the Egg. A famously mammalian thing to do.

Anyone here have Melb International Comedy Festival recommendations, or something they would love to go to but just can't make?

Alright - what's your favourite science puns? Next week is the Victorian debut of my show, Atomically Correct for the Melb Int Comedy show. I can't wait to share my fave quantum puns and atomic entendre. Tickets: www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/a...

It was so awesome to introduce to this crazy, zany world. Thank you for coming along and being so awesome on stage! 🤩

A man on the street told me I had a lucky face, but I needed to think less. Did not ask me to smile though!

Cheap science comedy tickets for Melbourne! Ends 31 Jan (that's Tuesday) www.comedyfestival.com.au/2024/shows/a...

My ex had an empathy score of sqrt(-1). Imagine!

For any Sydneysiders here wanting a night of science debate, there are still tickets left for Sci-Fight at The Factory! www.factorytheatre.com.au/event/sci-fi...

Does this mean I can describe myself as a "divisive" comedian?

I'm back to the stand up stage this week!

I learnt today that wombats will make time to watch a sunset.

Hey Sydney people, My science comedy on language, lies and quantum level realities opens 31 Aug and is playing for 3 nights only for Sydney Fringe. Would love to see you there! "Do yourself a favour - you'll laugh and learn." Dr Karl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - AU Review Tix: sydneyfringe.com/events/atomica…

This wind is not conducive to delivering show posters, but we have made the train relatively unscathed... Sydney Fringe is nearly here!

What social media does a horse use? ClipClop.

The bard really did coin every phrase...

me: what do you know about atoms? them: very little me: besides that

I do hope this is true 😊

Most nebulae are fairly unorganized, but I know a messier one.

Beautifully pairing the ex's khaki shirt with a lavender turtle neck today. Using the spoils of war well.

Wow, you know how we have an image of the Milky Way in various bands of light? Now we have a neutrino image of the Milky Way too! How cool! 😀
