From Life to Death - Ideas On Tap (Lectures In Pubs)

About this event
Researcher and ecologist, Dr. Jon Morant Etxebarria, takes us into the fascinating world of carnivores, scavengers and vultures exploring the often-overlooked role death plays in keeping ecosystems alive.
Come spend an evening in the pub listening to fascinating talks, meeting interesting people, and diving into ideas you probably won’t hear anywhere else.
Every event features a different speaker and theme, covering everything from science, history, psychology, philosophy, politics, film, Irish culture, and bizarre internet rabbit holes to cinema breakdowns, existential questions, and strange moments from history.
Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
