Q&ANU: Academic Freedom in a world of cures, cloning and climate
6–7pm
Venue: Finkel Theatre, John Curtin School of Medical Research, Building 131, Garran Rd, ANU
In a world in which science research is increasingly coming under public scrutiny, how much academic freedom should our scientists have? In Holland researchers developed a strain of the H5N1 ‘bird flu' virus but were prevented from publishing their work for fear terrorists mis-using the information. In 2008 members of the public raised concerns about the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland.
Is there a limit to what our scientists should be allowed to do? Or do they need academic freedom in order to make breakthroughs? This panel will explore how far academic freedom should stretch?
