Speaker Robyn Williams

Madcap performer, media science guru
Robyn Williams appeared with the madcap performers on Monty Python, while preparing for his career as a media science guru.  Versatility was always a feature of Robyn Williams style.  From biology studies at the University of London to standing in for singer Tom Jones on the BBC, Williams' range is definitely broad.

Science boffin extraordinaire
A science boffin extraordinaire - but one with an appealing presentation - Robyn Williams has presented The Science Show on ABC Radio National since 1975, which must be some sort of a record.  Media appearances are his forte with the list of his successes including programs such as 'Nature of Australia', 'World Safari' with David Attenborough, and 'Catalyst'.

Accolades
The accolades Robyn Williams receives for his knowledge and genial delivery are almost outdone by accolades in academic circles.  Williams was the first and only journalist to be elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science; he has been a fellow at Oxford twice; and is a Professor at the University of Qld and UNSW. He has received 5 honorary doctorates (Deakin University, Sydney, Macquarie, ANU and UNSW).  He is a science heavyweight who has a light touch with audiences.
