Dr Gregory Crocetti on Felix D’Herelle

  • November 24, 2015

Dr. Gregory Crocetti worked for a decade as a microbial ecologist at the Universities of QLD and NSW – exploring bacteria from a range of environments, including mouse intestines, sponges, seaweed and sewage. On moving to Melbourne in 2007, Gregory shifted from science research to science education, working with CSIRO Education for several years and briefly with Friends of the Earth’s Emerging Technologies Project. Gregory also began a collaboration with artists Briony Barr and Jacqui Smith in the art-science collective, Scale Free Network. In this capacity, Gregory has developed and delivered a range of art-science projects, combining microscopes with drawing, molecules with sculpture and more. Gregory now co-authors and publishes the Small Friends book series – stories about symbiotic partnerships between microorganisms and larger forms of life.

“Existing at a point where science meets storytelling, Laborastory is a night of five scientists telling stories about personal heroes from their field.
Sometimes serious but often funny, this different take on storytelling will switch on your scientific brain and you might even learn something!"

— Broadsheet

”The Laborastory is great for two main reasons. Firstly, there's nothing quite like listening to someone talk about something they deeply understand - and who understands science better than scientists? Secondly, most of history's greatest scientists were batshit insane, so the stories about them are always top-notch."
— Everguide

”So much fun! It should be required post-grad/doc/prof experience!"
— Dr Colin Hales

“As for the storytelling itself, for the most part it was roll-on-the-floor funny. These guys and gals were naturals. Or, perhaps, they have inhaled, imbibed or injected so many weird chemicals that they are actually cracked. Either way, it was a great night."
— Bait for Bookworms
