Event details
Interested in FREE pizza and drinks?
Interested in the conditions for the emergence and evolution of life?
Interested in the search for life beyond Earth?
The new Earth, Life & Space Seminar Series (ELASSS) covers all of this. We would like to invite you to attend our first seminar.
The talk will be about 20 minutes, after which we will have a group discussion about the speaker’s talk and general astrobiology-related topics.
Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary field of science. Our own research group is composed of planetary scientists, geologists, biologists, microbiologists, geochemists, physicists, astronomers, environmental scientists and engineers. We have created ELASSS to improve collaboration between these scientific disciplines across campus, and to encourage more people to get involved in the fascinating field of Astrobiology.
FREE pizza, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
