Welcome to a lunchtime lecture where Professor Tomas Roslin tells us about the majority of species still being unknown to us, and explains what we can do about it.

Please note that this lecture is in Swedish.

While we are living in a biodiversity crisis, some four out out of five species are still unknown. For the main part of species we do not know what they are, where they are and what they do. This is hardly a good starting point for informed environmental policies, argues Professor Tomas Roslin, and discusses what to do to make sense of life on Earth.  

Tomas Roslin is Professor of Insect Ecology at the Department of Ecology.

Sandwiches are served outside the studio from 11.45. The lecture starts at 12.15. Please note that food is not allowed in the Studio.

If you are unable to attend, the lecture will be streamed live on SLU Play the SLU Library’s Facebook page. The lecture will also be available on SLU Play afterwards.
