Winter 2010 Speakers Series

Guest Speaker:  Michael D. Mehta

January 5: Technologies for a sustainable 21st Century
Dr. Mehta will explore some of the most promising technologies of the 21st Century, and examine them in terms of their social, environmental and economic sustainability. He will focus on advances in nanotechnology, tidal energy, sea water desalination, and alternative waste water management systems.

Jan 12: Understanding risk in a turbulent world
Dr. Mehta will unpack the complex science of risk. By examining risk perceptions, assessments, and management, he will provide a tool for understanding some of the most complex risk issues of our times.

Jan 19: Impacts of technology on society: Case study - biotechnology
Dr. Mehta will examine how advances in biotechnology pose unique challenges. He will focus on genetically modified foods and regenerative medicine to demonstrate the wide range of social, ethical and legal issues that emerge when new and powerful technologies like these are released with poor government oversight, lack of labelling, and a failure to understand the non-scientific side of the equation.
