Stewart Brand – The de-extinction process has begun to take off.

Page 3: Ted stewart brand pp

“Extinction is a bigger kind of death; it’s bigger.” – Stewart Brand opening line.

Page 4: Ted stewart brand pp

He engaged with the audience by asking them questions like whether or not they would like to bring back the animals we have

killed off.

Page 5: Ted stewart brand pp

Scientists are injecting DNA from extinct animals into modern animals of the same family.

Page 6: Ted stewart brand pp

A major problem is how will the first of their species properly grow up without a mother?

Page 7: Ted stewart brand pp

Many people feel that this process is unnatural and just another way for scientists to show off.

Page 8: Ted stewart brand pp

Others like Brand feel that it is our duty to bring back species that have gone extinct because of human development.

Page 9: Ted stewart brand pp

Carrier Pigeon is one animal that is currently being worked on by scientists to bring back.

Page 10: Ted stewart brand pp

Dream big – most of us cannot imagine ever seeing animals that we have only heard stories about.

Page 11: Ted stewart brand pp

Level of dynamist – 5. His topic was literally about forcing nature.

Page 12: Ted stewart brand pp

Brands’ delivery was very calm and easy to follow.

Page 13: Ted stewart brand pp

His use of video footage from the 1930’s of the last marsupial wolf was a great addition to his presentation.

Page 14: Ted stewart brand pp

The various examples of animals that are near extinction was eye opening because it made the audience want to keep them in

existence.

Sir Ken Robinson was a little more active and entertaining to watch. However, I felt that Stewart Brand’s presentation was more to the point. That left him basically stating facts and theories the entire time which at points was more enjoyable.

Don’t feel like you need to put too much “fluff” in your speech. It can often be just as effective to narrate a sequence of events that

expand on your thesis.
