Lecture by Roy Tsesana: “De-Extinction: On the Future of Extinct Species”

In this lecture, we will examine attempts to bring back the mammoth and other extinct animals, understand how the technology works and its scientific, ecological, and ethical significance. Finally, we will see how these technologies may help in the future with species conservation, medicine, and improving human life. For adults and youth (15+).

You are invited to an evening of mingling, beer, and a lecture as part of MakeLab Talk – De-Extinction: On the Future of Extinct Species.

In recent years, technologies have been developing that make it possible to attempt to bring extinct species back to life. In the lecture, we will review attempts to bring back the mammoth and other animals, understand how the technology works and what underlies it from scientific, ecological, and ethical perspectives, and examine how successful it really is. Finally, we will consider how these technologies may in the future be used not only to recreate extinct species, but also to conserve endangered species, advance medicine, and improve human life.

Lecturer: Roy Tzazna, PhD in nanotechnology and an Israeli futurist researcher at the Interdisciplinary Cyber Research Center.

For adults and youth (15+).
