The Future of Life
Presented by the Harvard Alumni Association and
Harvard's Origins of Life Initiative
2:00 PM - Harvard Science Center Hall C, Cambridge, MA

The Harvard Alumni Association presents a discussion of cutting edge discovery straight from the labs of Harvard. By combined advances in biology, chemistry, genetics, geology, and astronomy, the Origins of Life Initiative works to find answers to questions pertaining to just that -- the origins and future of life on earth and throughout the universe.


This exciting half-day program will begin with keynote speaker J. Craig Venter, who is regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 21st century for his invaluable contributions to genomic research. Two panels will follow featuring prominent faculty who will discuss recent advances in understanding life - from other planets that might support life to how living cells emerge.
