Science Week 2019: The New Science of Astrobiology and the Search for Life in the Universe

When:
Venue: Birkbeck Clore Management Centre

Book your place

The talk will summarise the new interdisciplinary science of astrobiology, beginning with the planetary and evolutionary context of life on Earth and its implications for finding life elsewhere. Building on this perspective, the talk will consider the prospects for finding life, or evidence for past life, elsewhere in our Solar System, for example on the planet Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system, before moving on to consider the potential habitability of planets recently discovered orbiting other stars.
