Online event

MIT Press Live! presents an author talk with Chris Forman and Claire Asher, authors of Brave Green World.

About this event

In Brave Green World, Chris Forman and Claire Asher show what our linear systems can learn from the efficient circularity of ecosystems. They offer an unblinkered yet realistic and positive vision of a future in which we can combine biology and manufacturing to solve our central problems of waste and pollution.

Join us to speak with Forman and Asher, both scientists and accomplished science communicators, to learn more about their book and how we can harness cutting-edge biology and manufacturing to fight waste and pollution.

Learn more about Brave Green World.
