His widespread popularity has also lead to him being a patron of various science-related events and programs. Such examples include the University of Sydney's Eureka Prize , a "lateral-thinking" science prize; and the Rural Pharmacy Promotion Campaign.

He is also coach of the University's sixth grade women's soccer team, a role that he actively plays up on radio.
