Western Australia's Chief Scientist, Professor Lyn Beazley, will deliver the annual George Seddon lecture.

Among the Winthrop Professor in Zoology's many roles, Lyn Beazley currently chairs the Scientific Advisory panel for Western Australia's Low Emissions Energy Development Fund.

Professor Beazley's lecture will reference the need to question, both now and into the future, alternative means of using and reusing our finite resources and the possibilities open to us, both as individuals and as a community.

The annual George Seddon Lecture is sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Studies and UWA's Friends of the Grounds and honours the life and work of the late Professor George Seddon AM.

A senior honorary research fellow at UWA who worked in the field of environmental science for 40 years, Professor Seddon was probably best known in WA for his book A Sense of Place , published in 1976, which brought the needs of the fragile Swan River Plain to public attention.
