In partnership with the Biodiversity Research Centre (BRC), the Beaty Biodiversity Museum presents an ongoing series of lectures exploring our understandings of biodiversity.
As humans we appreciate biodiversity from diverse points of view. As scientists we study its origins and global significance. As artists we celebrate its staggering beauty. As consumers we depend on it. As organisms we participate in it. In this public lecture series, prominent scientists, artists, and public figures will share their perspectives on biodiversity: How did life diversify? What are the ecological interconnections in biodiversity? How does biodiversity matter to us? And, with one of today’s most pressing questions, how much biodiversity can we afford to lose?
