About Michel Kasumovic
Michael is an Associate Professor at UNSW Sydney. An award winning
evolutionary biologist and science communicator, Michael explores the
role the social environment has on how individuals develop and behave.
These interests have resulted in him working on a number of different
species throughout his career from birds, to spiders, to crickets, and
now humans. Using video games to explore human choices and preferences,
Michael has shown that although there may be a few hundreds of millions
years between the evolution of his earlier subjects and humans,
surprisingly, they behave in very similar ways. Michael now uses what
he's learned to create video games through his company Arludo that help
teachers and students around the world easily perform science
experiments to learn more about the world around them.

About Arludo
Arludo's mission is to improve scientific thinking for students of all genders, ages, and socioeconomic levels. To do this, Arludo is creating a
library of free educational apps and games for mobile devices that help
students work together and think critically about different scientific
problems. As they use the apps and games, students unknowingly collect
scientific data which are displayed in front of the class. This allows
teachers to speed up the scientific process and help students explore
data, helping them become data literate. They helping teachers turn
their students into scientists.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
