LAB Co-I Chris Kempes was interviewed by Quanta Magazine to discuss the applications of information theory to our biological definition of individuality. Chris mentions how generalizable and quantifiable conceptions of individuality could help make our search for life and our study of the origins of life more agnostic. Read the full article here!

Submit an abstract & attend our session "Detecting Life Through Space and Time: From Geochemistry to Biology” at the AGU 2020 Fall Meeting. We will explore what barriers need to be overcome to detect life in deep space and deep time, what theories and models can tell us about how geochemistry becomes biology, the intersection of paleobiological and astrobiological methods, and how we can search for life as we don’t know it. See the information below for more details, and join us online in December! 


Abstract Deadline: July 29
