Origin of Life – Nov 18
It’s an age-old question: What is the origin of life? While this inquiry has fascinated humans for centuries, recent breakthroughs point us in a more conclusive direction, and have remarkable implications. Among important side insights are the unexpected similarities between prebiotic and human innovation, and the central role that energy and information have played in transforming the planet over the last 4 billion years, leading right up to the present climate crisis.
Our Wonderfest speaker, Dr. Charles Marshall, is Professor of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. He is also Director of the University of California Museum of Paleontology.
