SUMMARY:Skeptics in the Pub
DESCRIPTION:Calories and conspiracies: Trust your gut! \nSucked-in by big food and big wellness. Distinguished scientist exposes two massive cons. Award-wining biomedical scientist Associate Professor Gal Winter is set to smash “the politics of the plate” at this month’s Skeptics In the Pub. Dr Winter\, a leader at UNE in her speciality of nutrition\, will deliver a frank and fearless presentation. She will show how we are caught in a tug-of-war between two massive nutritional cons. \nShe said: “On one side\, decades of corporate lobbying gave us the carb-heavy Food Pyramid and the myth of Calories In\, Calories Out\, shifting the blame for chronic disease entirely onto consumer willpower. “On the other side\, today’s billion-dollar supplement industry and ‘wellness’ influencers are cashing in on our broken food system\, selling us expensive powders\, bio-hacks\, and magic pills to fix problems that real food and sensible eating can solve. “I will blow the whistle on the politics of the plate. “We’ll trace the history of nutritional gaslighting – from the sugar industry secretly paying off Harvard scientists in the 1960s\, to the algorithm-driven grifters flogging supplements to us today. “I will unpack the science and look at the actual physiological reality of blood glucose and our microbiome and explore why\, when faced with both Big Food and Big Wellness\, your best defence is to trust no one but your gut.” \ncal wi* Skeptics In The Pub is a volunteer-run community event affiliated with Australian Skeptics Inc which promotes critical thinking\, reason\, logic and the scientific method. \nDoors open at 5.30pm to order drinks and gourmet pizza.

Holly Harrison’s Hi-Vis recreates the buzz and energy of night-time roadworks outside her Sydney home\, while Debussy conjures a swirling\, intoxicating atmosphere in Sacred and Profane Dances\, featuring our Principal Harpist\, Louisic Dulbecco.

SUMMARY:Central West Comedy @ Welder's Dog Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Two headliner high-profile comedians. \nNick Cody brings a comedic style that’s equal parts laid-back and blunt. He dives into topics ranging from personal disasters to the oddities of modern life with the kind of confidence that can only come from years of comedy experience. Boasting a sizable fanbase of Cody devotees\, Nick has sold out shows whilst racking up rave reviews\, not only at the biggest comedy festivals Australia has to offer including Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival\, but also at Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, the invite-only Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal\, New York Comedy Festival and Johannesburg Comedy Festival. \nLizzy Hoo is a master of mining her life and family into material that leaves audiences left wanting more. A hilarious\, self-assured\, observational-style has resonated with comedy-goers around the world\, with Lizzy’s stand-up clips garnering millions of views online. With each passing year\, Lizzy has been exponentially growing her audience to sold out houses around Australia\, while exponentially stretching the ability to use her name as a pun with shows such as Hoo Dis?\, Hoo Cares and Woo Hoo.
