Dr. Chris Bradburne had introduced the fascinating field of astrobiology to the group of over 50 students and faculty during his seminar earlier today. From the controversial claim of the discovery of Martian life in the 1990s to the nuts and bolts of designing space missions for the search of life in the Solar system and beyond, the talk provided a comprehensive overview of recent discoveries and posed intriguing questions not only about the possibility of finding life in distant corners of the universe, but their relationship to our own health and support of life in space.
