Jesse Shore

Jesse Shore, of Prismatic Sciences, makes science meaningful to a variety of audiences. He places science in a cultural context, explores ideas from diverse and unusual perspectives and flavours it with a bit of fun. His current focus is to develop science based content for multiple-media delivery such as television and the web based services.

Jesse has over 25 years of experience as a science communicator creating exhibitions, public events, a science festival and working with other communications media. He was an exhibition project leader during the building of the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and their senior curator of sciences for 20 years.

Jesse Shore juggles science concepts to capture people's interests. This pose was used for an article about the Powerhouse Museum's 'Sport: More than heroes and legends' exhibition, 2003-2006.

Jesse weaves together many media and subjects to tell a science story. His science and technology exhibitions combine artefacts, interactives, graphics, audiovisuals, commissioned sculptures, labels, poetry, art, history, design and a sense of humour. For events he mixes displays, lectures, demonstrations, staged performances, wandering actors (once involving a vampire and a fairy), quizzes and a few formats he has created to try something new or meet a specific need. Jesse attracts corporate and government sponsorship and grants for many of his projects.

He served or is serving on state coordinating committees for National Science Week and for the Australian Science Communicators (ASC).
