Prof Peter KL Ng gives this talk, in conjunction with NUS Faculty of Science¹s 80th anniversary celebrations.
Prof Peter KL Ng, Director of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, has in recent years become deeply involved in environmental and conservation biology. In the field of biodiversity science, the killing and preservation of animal specimens for research is an integral part of the discipline. If a biologist's desire is to conserve - how should this need to kill be rationalized? An engaging and charismatic speaker, he will explore this seemingly conflicting aspects of his work and leave you with some answers and probably, as is his style, more questions!
