Event Details

About Us:

Big Brain is a speaker series in San Francisco where academics and passionate people give lectures in the coolest bars and cafes in the city!

Event Description:

What if the key to fighting climate change starts with stopping cows from burping methane?

​Join us at The Wave as we host Alex Brown, cofounder and CEO of Alga Biosciences, a startup tackling a major contributor to climate change: methane emissions from cows. By preventing this potent greenhouse gas at the source, Alga is rethinking what climate solutions can look like.

​In this talk, we’ll explore the bigger picture:
– What’s the right order of operations for tackling the climate crisis?
– Can we depoliticize climate change?
– What role should capitalism play in solving it?
– And how do we balance evolution vs. revolution in industry?

​The answers may not be clear-cut, but this conversation will spark new ideas, challenge old assumptions, and leave us all with a little more hope about the future.

Join us @ Wave Collective on May 28th at 7 pm!
