Nerdy Passions is an opportunity to spend some time with speakers on the 25th of April and share the secrets of their nerdy passions. The list of speakers and their 'passions' will develop as the NOI 2012 programme blossoms. Here are a few to whet your appetite!
Mick Thacker is not only a world expert on the immune system but also a world expert on dragonflies. He will lead a group on a 'dragoning' hunt in the Adelaide environs as well as at the SA Museum where there is an internationally acclaimed dragonfly collection, including other large and now extinct Aussie insects.
Sandy McFarlane, the Senior Advisor in Psychiatry to the Australian Defence Force, is the perfect person to take a group to the Anzac Day dawn parade and 'shot fire' breakfast with Peter Barrett (from the NOI team), followed by a tour of war art at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
Michel Coppieters, famous for being Belgian and his obsessive love of beer and chocolate, will take a tour through some of the country's best beers and finest chocolate with local Belgian and Chocolatier Steven ter Horst.
David Butler and Juliet Gore will lead you on their favourite koala spotting walk through the Adelaide Hills. You can bring some wine and nibbles and enjoy a picnic with the cuddly curmudgeons along the way!
Kat Waterman and Tom Giles will lead a group of 30 cyclists out from the Adelaide CBD on the cruisy 15km Linear Park Trail down to the seaside suburb of Henley Beach. On the way out of the city centre you'll pass the Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre and Adelaide Zoo. A bit further on you might even cross paths with Mick Thackers avid 'dragoners' and grab a chance to feed some ducks along the way. Henley is renowned for its calm and sandy beach, beautiful jetty, outdoor cafes and bars. Come along for the ride and explore a piece of Adelaide with fellow bike lovers.
