Pills that improve morality: Julian Savulescu at TEDxBarcelona

Here you have a very nice academic who talks about ethics at TEDx.

I found his speech very interesting mainly because he argues that our technological progress doesn't guarantee us that our morality will develop further. On the contrary, it seems that our moral values need also to evolve and adapt to the reality we live in. How are we to achieve this?

In my opinion, one solution could be moral education.

‘Keele in the Spring’ photography exhibition

Keele in Spring Photography Exhibition – Open until 21 June upstairs at the KPA Clubhouse

On 16^th May, Keele Postgraduate Association (KPA) and Lavinia Ioana Udrea (Keele Ph.D Student and KPA Environmental Officer) opened Keele in Spring Photography Exhibition in the KPA Clubhouse. The exhibition celebrated spring season at Keele and emphasised the important role that environment plays in student life.
 
Over 50 students and staff came to see and appreciate students’ work of art and the beauty of nature. Keele in Spring Photography Exhibition contained 24 photographs and 14 student photographers were involved in the project to share their passion and rise environmental awareness amongst the exhibition guests.
 
KPA received a very good feedback for organising this project and decided to keep Keele in Spring Photography Exhibition open to the public for the entire month of May.

“I am happy that I managed to bring all these people together and discovered that Keele students are so motivated to get involved in this kind of projects that make them realize how important they are for our community.” -  Lavinia Ioana Udrea (Keele Ph.D Student and KPA Environmental Officer)

GREAT news, I was elected to be the new Environmental Representative in Keele Student Union!

Hi, my name is Lavinia and I was elected to be Keele University's BRAND NEW SU Environmental Representative. I am currently in my 1st year at Keele pursuing a PhD in Environmental Ethics.
