Prepare for a bumpy ride! The Universiteit van Nederland is examining scenarios that might lead us to ‘the end times” such as: the great insect die-off, serious Gulf Stream disruption, the next pandemic virus, and what is disastrous about the plastic soup and what can be done about it. Plastic pollution expert Dr. Heather Leslie joined other Dutch scientists in giving a series of 5 short lectures on the theme “the end of time”. The lectures were filmed in front of a studio audience on 6 November 2018 in Amsterdam. The lectures are now broadcast on the Universiteit van Nederland youtube channel that was created for top Dutch scientists to give free lectures to the public. With already 4 million views of the lectures posted to date, the ambition to bring the most interesting university lectures and knowledge to internet users is already a reality. As the Universiteit van Nederland producers say: “Wetenschap is te gek en iedereen moet dat weten.” [Science is awesome and everyone should know it.]
