Paul Willis, whose doctorate is in palaeontology, has a long association with science from his days working on TV shows
Catalyst and
Quantum. Now he works towards creating discussion between doctors, scientists and audiences, through live events and social media. Programs like
Science Behind the Headlines are streamed online. One of RiAus' highly publicised events was screening 17 live vasectomies worldwide on World Vasectomy Day, October 2013. Questions from the audience were fielded by the surgeon during the operation. 'I like to think we zig when everyone else zags,' Willis says. That sounds like a skill he might have picked up as a traveller on the TARDIS.
