The act
Songs and talks about how science actually works, delivered with jokes. Nate Eggins is an award-winning science communicator with 20 years of live music performance behind him, and he uses both: the critical thinking material covers alternative medicine, conspiracy thinking and easy money scams, and it's funny rather than lecturing. National Science Week and the World Science Festival Brisbane have both had him on the bill, and every year he puts on an all-ages variety show at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. Good for schools, festivals and corporate rooms alike. He can supply sound and lighting where it's needed. Based in Brisbane and Meanjin, travelling nationwide. He holds a working with children blue card.

Good to know
What to expect
Songs, jokes and a proper argument about how science actually works, all in the same set. Twenty years of live music performance sit behind it, so the crowd handling is the strong part, not an afterthought. Nate is an award winning science communicator and the material on critical thinking, alternative medicine and money scams lands as comedy rather than a lecture. It works in a school hall, at a festival and in a corporate room, which is not a claim many speakers can honestly make.
On the day
Every room is different, so this is a conversation rather than a checklist. He can supply all the sound and lighting himself when the venue doesn't have it, which takes one job off your list. Tell him the size of the space and the audience when you enquire and he'll tell you what he'll bring.
Performance options
The show gets built around what you're running, so a school incursion, a festival slot and a conference session all get shaped differently. He's based in Brisbane and Meanjin and travels nationwide for the right booking, so being outside the south east corner isn't a barrier worth worrying about.
Insurance and paperwork
Public liability insured, Working with Children Check.
