Professor Jak Kelly will present 'Science then and now: What will 100 years have done for science?' as it was delivered 100 years ago to a meeting of the Royal Society of NSW, in the now heritage-listed Science House in the Rocks (Sydney) on Saturday September 6, 2008.
According to the latest newsletter from the Royal Society of NSW, an equally eminent scientist will follow with a demonstration of the advances in science since that time.
Was science held in much higher regard back then - around the turn of the 20th Century?

"Furthermore - I checked - he certainly does have 130 peer-reviewed papers - including 2 in the prestigious "Nature" - very hard to crack!"
Exactly Barry Huckster is obviously is going for quantity rather than quality. Who can blame him anyway. At that rate, by the time he's 60 Barry will have 14,000 peer reviewed articles and 3,800 books on mass extinctions and climate science. I envy him in the nicest possible way seeing as when I become an adult I want to be just like the Huckster.
Yes, Plodder, Macquarie is a prestigious university. Very! That's like Barry that would be the first university I would ever apply for. MIT, Stanford? Who needs them when we have Macquarie.
Who wants to silence Barry Huckster as I certainly don't. I want him to write more about mass extinctions. Hopefully one day he'll be getting out of our hair and write a Hollywood script on the subject or better still sell it to Bollywood as they are really cashed up.
How's this for a title?
Barry's Hickster's:
"Mass Extinctions and the Night of the Living Dead".
Barry could play himself in lead role.
