With more than 2000 planned events around Australia, National Science Week, 10 to 18 August, offers multiple story opportunities. Here are a few ideas for food and wine sections.
VIC: Extrasensory — Parliament House, Melbourne
Extrasensory explores the human senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing and more.
The event combines art installations, performance, storytelling, and experimentation, with food and drink at Victoria’s Parliament House.
Activities and presenters include:
· Food tasting in different virtual places: does your environment make things taste better?
· Champagne science workshops with ‘the Culinary Scientist’ and former My Kitchen Rules contestant Emma Donnelly, who has both a science degree and a diploma of champagne science
· The chemistry of brewing beer to get the right flavour and aroma, with brewer John Helton, who trains beer tasters.
Curator Renee Beale, Emma Donnelly and several other presenters are available
