Samuel Verne

Physics studies a massive range of phenomena, from the ethereal nature of light waves, to the quantum behaviour of atoms, to the cosmic masses of space. My studies are in the large scales of science. Specifically, I study how clumps of matter that are larger than galaxies, change the colour of light as the clumps move through space. This is useful as how the colour changes tells us about the material that makes up the clump, even if it materials that we can’t see or touch, materials like dark matter.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM

Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.

For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
