Life Beyond Earth: The Science of Astrobiology

Presenter: Betul Kacar, Nasa Early Career Fellow, Assistant Professor, Department of Molecular & Cellular Biology and Astronomy, University of Arizona

Only one history of life has been recorded on our planet, but can we resurrect essential components of our planet’s biological past?

Is life a result of a fluke accident? What is the likelihood of life occurring elsewhere in the Universe?

In this talk, Kacar describes how her group uses molecular tools to unravel the conditions of our ancient planet and to explore life’s possible existence elsewhere in the Universe. She will also discuss how the contributions of Lynn Margulis, a visionary biologist, impacted our understanding of the origins of complex life and astrobiology.

Recorded on November 27th at Magpie's Gourmet Pizza on 4th Avenue in Tucson.
