School children and physicists were delighted by Dr Danielle Holmes at her first Marie Curie Lecture in Melbourne last month.

Dr Holmes took the audience on a journey from the photoelectric effect to how birds navigate vast oceans, including experiments with lasers, static electricity, and pipe cleaners.

The Marie Curie Lecture will tour Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Newcastle, Canberra, Wollongong, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbance across July and August.
