Aberdeen Science Festival - Café Controversial – What does it take to make the world a better place?

Is any type of farming sustainable? How do we ensure our understanding of the human body and different diseases continues? How do we ensure all people have access to a balanced and healthy diet?

Speakers from the University of Aberdeen will try to answer some of these questions. The answers are not always easy and may provoke controversy, but no topic is off-limits as we explore what it really means to build a better world in an age of division and disruption.

Some talks contain material related to research and ethical topics including abortion and fetal tissue research that some individuals may find distressing. Audience discretion is advised. Please also note that a dog may be present for one of the talks. For more information, contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
