We do indeed live in amazing times, and science is at the cutting edge of the advances humankind is making in its understanding of life, the Universe and everything - to borrow a phrase from Douglas Adams.  The UNSW Faculty of Science wants to play its part in bringing you directly in touch with researchers and thinkers at the forefront of some of the many opportunities, problems and dilemmas these advances pose.

In each of these thought-provoking lectures, we ask prominent scientists and thinkers to take us into some of the biggest issues of our times and share their knowledge, experience, ideas and opinions with members of the public.

Recent lecture: Q&A - A sustainable Australia?

Thursday 4th November 2010 

Following our highly successful Climate Change and the ETS Q&A, the Faculty of Science presents A sustainable Australia? This highly controversial topic at present, has inspired the Faculty to ask some of the most outspoken public figures on the matter to discuss their views and answer your questions on what exactly is a sustainable population for Australia?

Time: 6pm for 6.30pm start
Location: Clancy Auditorium, Kensington Campus (click here for maps)
