Unceremoniously ejected from the Australian Museum 150 years ago, former AM Curator, Gerard Krefft, was Australia's first zoologist and helped foster a national understanding and appreciation for natural sciences. Join us for a free and fascinating discussion on 'Gerard Krefft: A Saga of Science and Scandal', held on Saturday 21 September 2024. Featuring AM Director and CEO Kim McKay AO; former Director Dr Des Griffin AM; and our Head of World Cultures, Archives & Library, Dr Vanessa Finney.

Australia is home to some of the deadliest creatures in the world, but it could be worse! Recently, they've discovered a giant sea scorpion which used to stalk the waters...

The illegal wildlife trade is a multi billion dollar industry, raking in an estimated $24 million globally. And in Australia, our unique reptiles are hotter commodities than ever, with single animals fetching tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. This lucrative trade attracts in criminals from transnational organized crime networks, who exploit wildlife trafficking to test illegal drug importation routes and make a fortune. Among those entangled in this dangerous business was former NRL star Martin Kennedy, who played for the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos. In this episode hosted by Kathryn Fox, hear from Dr. Greta Frankham, a wildlife forensic scientist heading Australia's only accredited animal forensics lab. Uncover how cutting-edge science is helping to crack down on wildlife crime, protect our precious biodiversity and disrupt organised crime.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who do you turn to at the brink of the apocalypse? What might help us to mitigate the financial, commercial, political, social, and cultural collapse for which we may be heading? Museums and Societal Collapse: The Museum as Lifeboat (Routledge, 2023) proposes an unlikely hero in this narrative. Robert Janes' text explores the implications of societal collapse from a multidisciplinary perspective and considers the potential museums have to contribute to the reimagining and transitioning of a new society with the threat of collapse. Arguing that societal collapse is underway, but that total collapse is not inevitable, Janes maintains that museums are well-positioned to mitigate and adapt to the disruptions of societal collapse. As institutions of the commons, belonging to and affecting the public at large, he contends that museums are both responsible and capable of contributing to the durability and well-being of individuals, families, and communities, and enhancing societal resilience in the face of critical issues confronting our species.

Send us a Text Message.Towering 450 feet above the Egyptian desert lies the Great Pyramid of Giza, its rugged, crumbling facade a mere ruin of its former glory. It was once clad in blinding white limestone, fit so tightly together the seams were invisible. A capstone of pure gold crowned the top, reflecting the sun's light for miles like a beacon of triumph for a flourishing civilization. The textbooks teach us that the Great Pyramid was built around 4,500 years ago as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu. But did you know, that might not be true. At all. Let's fix that.Sources:  PBS article "A scan discovers a sealed, 30-foot-long hallway inside Giza pyramid"Australian Museum article about Egyptian artteslasciencecenter.orgThe Why Files “Tesla Knew the Secret of the Great Pyramid”Joe Rogan Experience interview with Graham HancockHistory Channel article about the great pyramids of EgyptSmithsonian article about ancient Egyptian pyramidsPBS interview with archaeologist Mark LehnerMegalithic Marvels  podcast episode called“ Graham Hancock on the Great Pyramid and Acoustic Levitation” https://www.dorner.at/en/news/betonblog/history-concreteSupport the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

Yi-Kai Tea, a biodiversity research fellow at the Australian Museum in Sydney, has amassed a social media following as @KaiTheFishGuy for his sassy writing and gorgeous photos of fish and other wildlife. Kai recently returned from an expedition aboard an Australian research ship to explore the deep seas surrounding a new marine park in the Indian Ocean. Led by the Museums Victoria Research Institute, dozens of scientists aboard mapped the ocean floor and, using nets dropped to as deep as six kilometers, gathered thousands of specimens, ranging from the utterly adorable deep sea batfish to the terrifying highfin lizardfish to the unfortunately named bony-eared assfish. Today on the show, Kai takes host Aaron Scott on a tour of the ocean floor and the fantastical creatures that call it home. "They are masters of the realm," says Kai. "You can't live in 3,000 meters of water and not be a master at what you do. And the fact that these creatures are living down there, thriving and making the most out of these habitats, that's a remarkable feat."
