Colloquium: Shaping Tomorrow's World

Shaping Tomorrow's World Other events...
This week’s Colloquium will take a slightly different format from the usual. Instead of one presenter, we will have 4 members of a team present (Carmen Lawrence, Steven Smith, John Cook, and myself) who are the principals behind the project “Shaping Tomorrow’s World” at www.shapingtomorrowsworld.org This new website www.shapingtomorrowsworld.org is dedicated to discussion of the challenges that are facing us — from food insecurity to climate change — and potential solutions based on scientific evidence and scholarly analysis. The site was designed and implemented by Wendy and John Cook of www.skepticalscience.com. Seed funding for the platform was provided by UWA’s Pro VC for Research, although it is now maintained entirely on a volunteer basis. On Friday, we will initiate the round table by briefly presenting all our activities to date, ranging from RTR to iTunes to theconversation.edu.au and now Shaping Tomorrow’s World. John Cook will be attending from Brisbane via Skype. After our brief presentations, we will be opening the discussion to involve everybody on the floor.
