The end of an era with The Project over

Alan Duffy

Hard to believe the iconic The Project is nearly over… it’s even harder to believe that’s ten years(!) since I failed to convince Freddie Flintoff about a new planet in our solar system (seriously I loved some of the guest hosts!), or getting to share cutting edge science on the desk in front of a live studio audience (I’m amazed my heartbeat wasn’t picked up by the mic), or the honour of a regular segment in over 50 appearances showcasing great science stories shared to Australia in the fun yet informative way only The Project managed to do so well for so many years.

Searching for Dark Matter underground in a gold mine

Alan Duffy

After years of work from teams worldwide, we are finally nearing the completion of the deepest underground physics laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere all searching for dark matter!

So it was a double thrill that I could take one of Australia's biggest shows - Network 10's #TheProjectTV - on a tour of this Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory

Cool Science Stuff at Home - The Project

Alan Duffy

A fantastic initiative by The Project to showcase some science experiments you can do at home. Alongside our experiments, they also brought together amazing resources such as the free RiAus education packs or NASA STEM@Home, perfect for students or teachers (and parents!) exploring this strange new quarantined world of teaching at home.

Mini-ice age from a quiet Sun? No - The Project

Alan Duffy

An amazing opportunity to sit at the desk on The Project and discuss the science behind solar studies of the Sun's activities, that we going into a regular Solar Minimum, although it may be heralding the beginning of a Maunder Minimum which saw Europe plunged into a 'Mini-Ice Age'. Read here and here about why that's not the case (for starters the Mini Ice-Age began before the 70 year lack of sunspots in the Maunder Minimum!) but even if it were to occur now we've warmed things on Earth so much it would only slow the heating down not reverse it.

Brightest supernova ever seen - Ten’s The Project (15/1/16)

Alan Duffy

The Project invited me on the show to chat about an astounding discovery... A new tiny faint point of light appeared in the sky, 10000 times faint than could be seen by the naked eye, but when we realised it was 3.8 BILLION lightyears away it was clear that it must be astoundingly bright to even reach this faint level. This was the brightest supernovae ever recorded - ASAS-SN-15lh
