Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki
The subject this week on Anh's Brush with Fame is TV science guru Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki.
Dr. Karl has shared his passion for life and science with Australians for decades. He joins Anh to share the fascinating life story that led him to broadcasting while Anh endeavours to capture his natural curiosity and enthusiasm on canvas.
Karl's parents, both survivors of brutal Nazi concentration camps, met as refugees in Sweden before migrating with their infant son to Australia. After a stint in a migrant camp, the family settled in Wollongong, where Karl was singled out for his ethnicity. He describes his experience with ‘face blindness' and the tricks he has developed to recognize people in other ways.
Going through university young, Karl followed an unusual career path, including time as a taxi driver which brought both rewarding and horrifying experiences. He stumbled into broadcasting as an ‘expert' on the 1981 space shuttle launch, before being recruited to present his own show, ‘Great Moments In Science'.
