Ken Thompson lecture

Our next online lecture is by Dr Ken Thompson on Tuesday 17th August. In a talk entitled Where do Camels Belong? Ken will discuss a number of questions: Where do plants and animals belong? And is that the same thing as where they’re native? What does ‘native’ mean anyway? Does it have any kind of time limit? Should it? And what should be our attitude to natives and aliens? Are all aliens bad, or only some of them, and how do we know? What, if anything, should we do about alien species we don’t like?

Access to this and all our lectures is free for Friends. Members of the public can join the livestream on Tuesday for just £5.
