Kirsty Duncan: Scientists must be free to learn, to speak and to challenge (2018x150)

In a heartfelt, inspiring talk about pushing boundaries, she makes the case that researchers must be free to present uncomfortable truths and challenge the thinking of the day — and that we all have a duty to speak up when we see science being stifled or suppressed.
