The Room for Hope and Responsibility in Nature
你想‧現實 Hope Actually
The Room for Hope and Responsibility in Nature
Speaker: Cheung Chi Kwan Vincent and Klaus Colanero
Brief Description
Given the current knowledge about the brain, does it make sense to talk about personal responsibility? Does nature allow for human responsible actions? Do the laws of physics leave any room for us to shape our future?
On the other hand, if I want to hold a responsible attitude towards others' wellbeing, can I disregard the importance of scientific knowledge of nature? What does our current scientific knowledge have to do with our interventions on the environment? What do new discoveries in neuroscience have to do with criminal law?
Through their dialogue the two speakers will show possible answers and their implications.
About the Speakers
Vincent Cheung, neuroscientist, is assistant professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Klaus Colanero, physicist and aspiring philosopher of science, is lecturer for the General Education Foundation Programme of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

From Boat to Bowl: Patterns and Dynamics of Hong Kong SHARK Tale
Speaker: Stan Shea
Brief Description
When you think about the ocean and it's many fishes, what comes into your mind? Many people would say "delicious" or "seafood", highlighting the most predominant relationship between man and sea. Hong Kong is one of the biggest per capita consumer of seafood in the world, and we have been importing our marine resources from over 130 countries/territories around the world each year. Do you think the ocean has limitless resources for our consumption, or are our oceans on the verge of collapse?
From fearsome sharks to colourful groupers, let's talk a bit about marine conservation – the fish's vulnerability to overfishing, Hong Kong's role in managing global seafood stocks, and what we can do to ensure healthy oceans and abundant sea life for our next generation.
