18. Discovering New Species to Science, and Rediscovering 'Lost' Ones in Remote Corners of the Globe

James Kempton will discuss Expedition Cyclops, a scientific research expedition that he led to the remote Cyclops Mountains on the island of New Guinea. The expedition yielded discoveries of new species to science, new data on why New Guinea is the world's most biodiverse island, and it rediscovered a bizarre, egg-laying mammal, that had been thought extinct (widely reported in the international media).

James will discuss the process of planning and executing such a mission, as well as the scientific questions that drove it, and will hint at future expeditions to come.
