*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: You'll Know It When You See It: Defining, Describing, and Detecting Life in the Universe<br>
*Lecturer*: Cecilia Sanders<br>
*Position*: PhD Candidate<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
When scientists search for life in the universe, what in the world are we looking for? What kinds of "fingerprints" or signatures do living things leave behind on their non-living surroundings, and what tools do we need to detect them? In this talk, I will attempt to define life, give a brief history of life (as we know it) in the universe, and talk through some of the astro-bio-geo-chemical techniques that we use to study it. <br><br>
