Expert Talk with BBQ: “Are we alone? Searching for Life in the Universe”
Dr. Jakob den Brok, Astrophysicist at the Harvard & Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics
Tuesday, October 1 at 6 pm
Join us for a free BBQ and expert talk with Dr. Jakob den Brok & delve into one of humanity’s most profound questions: Are we alone in the universe?
We’ll explore how scientists search for life beyond Earth & discuss the challenges and conditions necessary for life and advanced civilizations to exist in our galaxy. Together, we will derive how rare or common life is based on the current best estimates by astrophysicists, leaving us with thought-provoking questions about the implications of our findings. Please RSVP by email by September 26.
