The Species Showdown
Wednesday 14 August 2024 from 6:30pm to 8pm
Doors open 6pm.
Get ready to engage your mind and join us for some serious fun as six University of Sydney scientists face off in a battle of wits about the survival of species on our planet.
Different viewpoints will be explored, ideas exchanged, and assumptions challenged. Take your seats and settle in for an evening of thought-provoking discussion and lively sparring. It’s time to throw down for The Species Showdown!
Hosted by Associate Professor Alice Motion with special guest researchers from the Faculty of Science.
Debate 1: EARTH vs SPACE
We should stop the search for life on other planets and protect the species we have here on Earth.
Debate 2: JURASSIC PARK vs NOAH’S ARK
Bring back the Tasmanian Tiger or save the Tasmanian Devil?
Debate 3: HUMAN INTELLIGENCE vs ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The robots are coming, resistance is futile, and they will be smarter than us.
