Scientists have told us how the world began, but how do they think it will end? Explore pre-human mass extinctions (and how close it came to ‘the end’) – and why our thoughts often drift toward apocalyptic predictions and end time fears – with a 15 minute talk (plus your questions) from molecular biologist and science communicator Upulie Divisekera.
