The origin of life, or abiogenesis, is a profound and challenging problem for scientists, in part because we only have evidence of it ever happening once in the known universe. Understanding abiogenesis is key to understanding not only how life arose on Earth, but also why we so far seem alone in our expansive universe. But how do you study the means by which life may or may not have started?
Join us for a conversation about what we know and what it means for expanding our understanding of this elusive topic.
Panelists Include:
Dr. Mark Borrello, Associate Professor, Director of HST Program, Ecology, Evolution and Behavior
Dr. Trinity Hamilton, Associate Professor, Plant and Microbial Biology
Dr. Burckhard Seelig, Associate Professor, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics
