Sci Fight Science Comedy Debate brings together scientists and comedians to debate serious issues in a silly way. No one is prepared to look at a cane toad and admit: ‘this is what peak performance looks like’. Biologists often talk about the negative impacts of introduced plants and animals, but is there a bias in this approach? If all life displaces life, if everything with a metabolism consumes energy, is there subjectivity creeping in when we decide when this is good or bad? When we call something a pest, is this just classic Australian Tall Poppy syndrome tearing down the introduced animals and plants that made a go of it in their new environment? God forbid a feral camel have hobbies, like eroding a water way. Or in the absence of evolution’s moral compass, is it important for scientists around the world to step in and make sure every (native) creature great and small gets a leg up?
