If you can’t trust Dr Karl on triple j to tell you the truth about important sciencey stuff like the freezing point of farts, then who can you trust, right?

He will also give you the low down about other vital questions you’ve never bothered to ask such as: does the extreme cold affect blood alcohol levels like altitude can? As importantly: why do some penguins mate for life and how they choose ‘the one’? And, if you need your appendix removed, why you should visit the South Pole and why lips turn blue when you’re chilly.

In a radio first, all this week your favourite scientist answers your icy cold questions, live on triple j from Casey Research station in the Antarctic with special guests Dr Ben Galton-Fenzi and Casey Research Station leader Chris MacMillian.
