Can we really achieve sustainability with plastic if we keep going the way we currently are? In this amazing talk, Richard Banati outlines that without tracing the real lice cycle of plastic, we are always going to be in the dark as to the real story.

Richard Banati is an internationally-recognised scientist with interdisciplinary research interests in the brain's innate immune system and the development of advanced medical imaging for the detection of subtle of non-obvious brain pathology.

The tracer principle, on which this medical research is based, has applications far beyond neuroscience. The research of Professor Banati and his colleagues has received recognition through the bi-annual Award of the German League for Research into Alzheimer's Disease, in addition to many more international accolades. Richard is Professor and Foundation Chair of Medical Radiation Sciences at the University of Sydney, Director of the Ramaciotti Centre for Brain Imaging at the Brain & Mind Research Institute (BMRI) and Director, University of Sydney node of the National Imaging Facility. He is now a member of the ANSTO Executive Team and supports the CEO in the focus areas of strategic research and national and international collaborations and partnerships.

TEDxSydney is an independently organised event licensed from TED by longtime TEDster, Remo Giuffré (REMO General Store) and organised by his General Thinking network of fellow thinkers and other long time collaborators.

TEDxSydney has become the leading platform and pipeline for the propagation of Australian ideas, creativity, innovation and culture to the rest of the world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
