3 presenters share a topic they are NERDY about while the audience shares a drink.
The second last show of the 2026 Nerd Nite Melbourne year, but we’re not slowing down! This October, we’re kicking off by getting a bit spooky with finding human remains, investigating bewildering text messages from a mother, and a treat from an international guest – the host of Nerd Nite Fort Collins (US)!
Come to get creeped out (by either the bodies or the texts, your choice), and see how the US does Nerd Nite!

Where should I hide the body?!
Description: After someone commits a homicide, a common after thought is “What should I do with the body?!” In an effort to get rid of the evidence, some people will bury their victims, and unfortunately, these can be really hard to find. My research looks at combing what we know about human behaviour and some cool ground monitoring technologies to help find these graves. This is really important not only because it can help us prosecute the person responsible, but it can also bring the victims back home to their loved ones.
Bio: Toss out your conference bio and start fresh. Unless you have a Nobel prize or a teen choice award, the credentials probably aren’t important to our audience. Tell us what you’re passionate about. Be human.
Tori is a forensic anthropologist (think of the TV show Bones!). If she is not out in field looking for graves, she is in the classroom teaching the next generation of forensic scientists at Deakin University.
