Humans and farm animals have taken over the planet and pushed other species to the brink of extinction. Could lab-grown meat help build the diverse and thriving planet of our future?

Dr Siobhan O'Sullivan is a Senior Lecturer in Social Policy in the School of Social Sciences. She has published extensively in the field of animal welfare law, policy and ethics. Siobhan hosts a weekly Animal Studies podcast called 'Knowing Animals'.

This talk and interview are part of Unsomnia: a series of short talks for restless minds.

Tackling the issues that keep us up at night, imagining the inconceivable and envisioning the future, UNSW researchers have just 10 minutes each to explain what life we will be living in the future.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of UNSW Sydney, researchers were asked to take stock of what society used to be, fast forward to today’s world and look ahead another 70 years.

Hosted by Rob Brooks.
