    Advocacy vs Impartiality: Should scientists stand up as things fall down?

    In our rapidly changing world, there has never been a more important time for science to be
    objective. However, has the time come for scientists themselves to be more human? Many
    scientists have knowledge and understanding that could help the public and policy-makers, if
    only they were allowed to speak out. As climate change, biodiversity depletion, and pollution
    threaten to make our world feel increasingly hostile, should scientists to take a stronger
    stand in the public eye?

    Speakers: Alexandra de Blas (Moderator) – Science Communicator; Louise Cherrie – Environmental Management Consultant; Dr. Lila Landowski – Neuroscientist, College of Health and Medicine, UTAS and Director, Science and Technology Australia; Hon. Meg Webb – Independent Member, Tasmanian Legislative Council; Robyn Williams – Host, The Science Show, ABC Radio National

    This panel discussion is organised by the Tasmanian Independent Science Council. Ticket prices include coffee, tea, and pastries.

    A Seat at the Table
    Beaker Street Festival's pay-it-forward initiative, A Seat at the Table, helps make our science and art offerings accessible to those who can't afford to purchase a ticket. Ticket buyers have the option to donate towards the cost of a stranger's ticket. You won't know who you've helped, but your donation will go directly to allowing someone else to access this great event. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
