Brian Cox on Triple J this Thursday
Quick heads up - everyone's favourite hipster physicist - Prof Brian Cox - is joining Dr Karl on Triple J this Thursday at 11am. Why not phone in with a question!

The hubby actually told me about this yesterday as he's a big fan of the show- looks after me well doesn't he.  I was going to do a heads up closer to the date but you beat me to it. 
Having a look at the webpage, you have to put in your location specific to your state- I got confused so the hubby stepped up & sorted it out and now it's ready to go set to Brisbane  .
I just hope I remember!
Aye, if I did ring in, my question will not be science related, throwing me in front of Cox is like leaving Romeo with Juliet, telling the mouse not to eat the cheese yadda yadda; just simply no good can come out of it.  I'll use all my willpower not to make that phone call, any ounce of intelligence I thought I had would just be thrown out the window in seconds...  And I can assure you once on that phone, I won't be getting off in a hurry.

Nettie has great composure, as nervous as she most likely is, she's going to be fine, I just know it. If anyone can sail through that meeting, it'd be our own Nettie.  Errr I speak from an astro chick perspective... you know because we are sort of.. just a little bit.. dazzled by Brian.  I'm sure the guys there will be fine.
*ahemmm*... I figure she can break the ice and settle those nerves by producing this Brian doll from her handbag, get him to take all its clothes off (Nettie doing it in front of him would be wrong on every level) so he can sign every limb and body part and then when she arrives home with it, she rips it up limb by limb and posts each one of us IIS astro chicks a signed body part.
Win win I say.
Btw, note how perfectly shaped they got those lips and the delicate wisps of hair ever so delicately gracing the sides of his head  Quite amazing isn't it.
And you guys thought you'd seen everything  .
Getting off topic, time to be quiet now Suzy...

Eeeek! 2 sleeps to go!!
I'm going to have to have some form of sedation to get any sleep tomorrow night.
Suzy, if I can get out one coherent sentence, I'll be happy.
Bwian and Dr Karl, that's going to be brilliant.

Will get to see him give a free presentation at Melbourne uni on Friday. I'm not sure if he is going to the other states or not. It's going to be very funny as a friend of mine who is going too, is an amazing Coxy doppelgänger!

Hi Russell,
I know of a couple of the ladies from here that are going to that lecture. It got booked out pretty fast!
I had the impression he was only doing Melbourne as well.

Hi Suzy,
Yes booked out very fast! An email has been sent through advising that if you aren't seated by 7.25pm they will be letting people in to use them (as it's a free lecture), so people who missed may have a small chance to get in still!

 Same here Chris. I thought oh boy that's an aptly timed title. 
I wanted to say something but alas I wasn't brave enough.
30 mins to go for the show & counting.
 I will have to picture Brian as he looks in JJJ's pics from yesterday * drool* .

I'm confused.
It's 10am and they just said he'll be on in one hour.
The programme time down south seems to be matching our Qld time even tho we don't have daylight saving ? hmmm.
Aaarggggh all excited and now I have wait an hour more grrrrrr.
Are you asking a question Stu or anyone?
I'm too shy. I think.

Suzy - you can probably stream the live radio feed via the Triple J website, and then listen to it again via local radio in an hour. What's better than listening to hipster Brian?...hearing him twice

Brian Cox is going to miss the total solar eclipse. He will be in Perth instead. The ladies will be sad.
