Life: From the Earth to the Galaxy @ OU

Cartoon artist: Vincent Paneccasio
Just a quick announcement for readers who also happen to share my addiction of listening to BBC4′s Material World: The Open University is hosting (as part of their Inaugural Lecture Series) four presentations by CEPSAR scientists on detecting life beyond earth. CEPSAR is what some geographers like to call ‘the other space centre on campus’ (Geography’s centre is called ‘Open Space’, CEPSAR stands for ‘Centre for Earth, Planetary, Space & Astronomical Research’). The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion led by the Material World’s Quentin Cooper.
The event will take place in the Berrill Lecture Theatre at Walton Hall on Monday 17 November, at the appropriately cryptic hour of 2.25pm… (turn up from 2pm for tea & coffee).
If you cannot make it in person, there will most likely be a recording for you to watch on the net about a week later. Here is the link to the Berrill Stadium webcasts site.
