Globally we are facing a biodiversity crisis, with species becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate. What if extinction was not forever, and we could ‘de-extinct’ species? Modern molecular approaches are making it increasingly feasible to bring back extinct species. Internationally, efforts have focused on species as diverse as passenger pigeons and woolly mammoths. In Australia there has been a particular focus on the potential to recreate the extinct Tasmanian tiger.
While the molecular science is advancing rapidly there are a range of important questions about de-extinction. How feasible is it really?? Are there concerns from ecological, ethical and Indigenous perspectives? Should we recreate extinct species or focus our limited resources on preventing extinction?
Our esteemed panel will discuss these issues and more in a free-flowing session based on short presentations from different perspectives and an open forum with questions from the floor.
Date: Wednesday 8 June
Time: 2pm – 4pm
Location: 2B9
All UC staff and students welcome.

Vision ACTion, brings together the major research, education and clinical centres from across the Australian Capital Territory and region that specialise in clinically oriented Vision research.
Vision ACTion are a group of dedicated vision scientists, educators, and clinicians from across the ACT region looking at developing better outcomes for patients with visual disorders today, while developing technologies, treatments and diagnostics for the future. Our research is focused on unravelling the fundamental mechanisms of a range of eye and brain diseases that affect vision. These include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), amblyopia, diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, myopia, Parkinson’s disease, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and stroke to develop novel therapeutics and diagnostics for treating and managing these and other debilitating diseases.

The 2022 Creative Canberra research project is an environmental scan of the ACT creative industries sector undertaken for, and in partnership with the ACT Government, the University of Canberra, and the local creative industries. Through mixed methods analysis and the development of a suite of bespoke methodological tools, this study analysed the current state, scope and potential of the ACT creative industries to identify the ACT’s unique competitive advantage, development pathways and distinctive opportunities for (and constraints on) future jobs creation and the sustainable economic development of the sector. Our research shows that the ACT is a highly creative city with opportunities for strengthening and growing the role of creativity and the creative industries. This seminar explores the complex research process and findings for Canberra from this significant interdisciplinary partnership project.
Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Design: Jason has extensive experience in developing creative industries strategies and leading multidisciplinary teams to implement and imbed them in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.
Cathy has expertise in designing and delivering creative sector-led projects for improved people and place outcomes in the ACT. She has delivered and evaluated multiple projects in partnership with ACT government, industry, the creative and community sectors and community including Haig Park Experiments, Social Art Park, Grants in the City and Ginninderry Open and Green Spaces.
