Baird, Jr. Professor of Science</div><div>Chair, Astronomy Department, Harvard University</div><div>Director, Institute for Theory and Computation (ITC)</div><div>Are we alone or is the universe teeming with life?</div><div>is one of the most fundamental questions in science. The answer could have a dramatic impact on society and culture. Over the next decade, advances in technology will allow astronomers to address this question in new ways. I will describe a few novel techniques that could potentially detect primitive or intelligent forms of life in the solar system and around nearby stars. I will then discuss how early after the Big Bang life may have started, as well as its prospects for survival in our long-term cosmic future.</div><div>Harvard University, Science Center Hall B</div><div>One Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA<strong></strong></div><div>Street Parking Available</div><div>All are welcome!</div>
