[ASC-list] ASC ticket giveaway! Sketch Science Comedy this week in Melbourne

[Phil Dooley]

Announcing the winners!

Bronze Medal to Clare Mullen for some quality meteorology-

*        What’s the perfect forecast? Fine between showers!*


Silver to Tim Hunt - for the not entirely original, but still entertaining
and suitably musical for our show:

*           16 sodium atoms walk into a bar followed by Batman.*

And Gold Gold Gold for Clare Brownridge's entry, although not technically a
joke she "*rhymed CSIRO with 'yo' in a rap about climate projections to
present at a departmental science symposium because they are all badass
scientists."*   Full rap below.

Congrats guys, you are all too funny... Clare Tim and Clare email me for
your double pass, let me know which night you want to come - any night
until Saturday 23rd.

Cheers
Phil

Victorian Climate Projections two-thousand-and-nineteen
The finest climate projections the state has ever seen*.
With new modelling and data down to 5 k by 5 k,
Discovering future climate to guide our adaptation pathway.

We partnered with the experts down at CSIRO,
They modelled our future climate – it’s pretty complex, yo.
Out to 2090 for temperature and rainfall,
Plus other less common variables - this project's got it all.

[...]

* finest-resolution, statewide, dynamically downscaled projections
