Our Club Secretary had been sent the details by QUT who were sponsoring the event, and she circulated them to all members of SEQAS. I registered, and went along. As it is National Science Week, I'm surprised more people didn't know about it. It really was a worthwhile evening, (well 90 minutes)
Out of interest, how many other people have heard of, or been to the seminar? Peter McLeish has spoken at just about every major centre in SE Australia, and it would have been a pity if there were only 15 attendees at each of the venues. (Actually at the published start time, there were only 4 people present, but I think a few Museum employees were press ganged into attending, and the talk started 20 minutes late.) Given that it is National Science week, it would be an embarrassment to the organisers, and an insult to the speaker if that had happened everywhere.
