​🌍 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. 🌱

​​About Our Ticket Structure

​We’re not taking a profit—every ticket sold goes directly back into the business. Our pricing also depends on the venue, and this space charges us a rental fee, which is why tickets for this event are slightly higher than previous ones.

​That said, we’re committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If cost is a barrier, please don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing us at bigbrainsanfrancisco@gmail.com—we reserve a handful of tickets for financial assistance at every event.

​Thanks for supporting our growing mission!
