Sydney University hosted a series of public lectures in May and June on issues including security, government, work and higher education. The concluding lecture was entitled Biology and the New Communities and it was delivered by Assoc. Prof. Catherine Waldby. As her list of publications indicates, she’s one of the world’s leading authorities on the social implications of biomedical technologies.
