Next Monday! Australian Science Communicators screening of “Stuck on a Rock” and a talk by invertebrate expert Rohan Cleave at LongPlay, Fitzroy North, 27th May 2019. Join us on a cinematic journey to the paradise that is Lord Howe Island and hear the story of one of the rarest insect species on earth – the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect. Thought to have been eaten to extinction by rats in the early 1900s, the massive phasmid was rediscovered on a remote volcanic stack, Balls Pyramid. Scientists embarked on an adventure of conservation to prevent it from disappearing completely. Come and hear their stories in this beautiful film about this remarkable and critically endangered animal. From 6pm in the LongPlay cinema bar, with food and drink available for purchase (one drink free with your ticket!). The presentation will start at 7:30, followed by a question and answer session with Phasmid expert Rohan, who can answer your questions about the insect and the making of the film. ASC Members $10, Non-members $15. All tickets include entry to the event and a free drink!
