Astrobiology

Speaker: Professor Joshua Tan - City University of NY (via Zoom)

The key ingredients and conditions that allowed for the emergence of life have been identified by biochemists for many decades. What is the astronomical context for this emergence? Where did it come from? In this talk Dr. Joshua Tan will discuss the astronomical contexts for the emergence of life and, along the way, look at how seemingly alien and exotic astrophysical events planted the seeds that are necessary for us to exist. The implications of this in our search for life outside the Earth will be explored as well.
