Is There a Universal Biology?

 

The Alameda Free Library, in partnership with Wonderfest, is pleased to present the next in our Social Science event series. This event will be held at the Main Library, 1550 Oak Street, from 2-4 pm on April 8, 2018. All ages are welcome at this free event.

 

We search for the origins of life on Earth and the potential for life elsewhere, but what are we actually looking for? What is life? Is there only one way to construct a living organism, or are we Earthlings but one possibility out of a multitude?

 

Our speaker, Dr. Lynn Rothschild, is an astrobiologist and synthetic biologist at the NASA Ames Research Center. She is also an adjunct professor at Brown University and University of California, Santa Cruz.

 

Please join us. Registration is not required, but is requested. You may register for this event by calling the Reference Desk at (510) 747-7713, or by clicking the link below: http://alamedaca.evanced.info/signup/EventDetails?EventId=8780&backTo=Calendar&startDate=2018/04/01
