• Description:

  As science and technology advance, fundamental issues central to the concept of life become harder to answer. Today, perspectives are changing on a wide range of issues including the origins of life, how life differentiates itself from its surroundings, what role self-awareness plays in maintaining life, and the discoveries regarding life that will emerge in the near future. UA's College of Science is proud to present six lectures that will probe these edges of life. Bringing together perspectives that include biology, communications, medicine, technology, and philosophy, these six speakers will help us engage and understand the limits of life, and what might lie beyond.
