Cosmic Life, Human Heart – Mar 24
The search for life in the universe invites deep exploration of our own world’s 4-billion-year habitability. We begin to see the cosmos as a vast and seamlesss network of relationships — a web that envelops our own Earth and the human heart. In this age of ecological disruption and social fragmentation, the personal journey of one astrobiologist, integrating scientific inquiry with contemplative awareness, can help deepen the capacity for compassion rather than despair. It may even help the next generation to build a healthy, humane, and resilient civilization.
Our Wonderfest speaker is astronomer and astrobiologist Dr. Margaret Turnbull. Maggie does research on planetary habitability at the SETI Institute.
