Life Jim, but Not as We Know It

  • サマリー

  • What does it mean to talk about truly alien life? Can we even imagine what might be out there? And, how will we know what to look for? These two speakers exemplify the careful balance of skepticism and curiosity when talking about alien life. Dr. Frank Rosenzweig teaches biology and astrobiology at Georgia Tech. His research focuses on understanding major transitions in biology, including the origins of multicellularity. With a background extending to comparative literature and philosophy, Dr. Rosenzweig offers a rare perspective at the intersection of science and humanities. From 2015 to 2019, he was Director of the NASA funded “Reliving our Past” research center. John Scalzi has written over 20 science fiction novels spanning a wide range of sci-fi themes. Known for his irreverent and creative humor, his works address existential and personal philosophical issues in an engaging and enjoyable way. His short story “When the Yogurt Took Over”, animated on the Netflix series Love, Death, and Robots, asks what if another species went to space and left us on Earth. Scalzi has also written on popular astronomy for stargazers and served as the president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America 2010-2013.
