Santa Fe Institute's video: Andromeda Strain and the Meaning of Life: Episode 1 Broken Audio 2

COVID-19's continued threat makes hosting our annual InterPlanetary Festival near impossible. In lieu of in-person panel discussions and sci-fi film screenings, SFI's InterPlanetary Project will explore the Planetary Life Support System "Astrobiology and Life Detection" in a mini-series called "Andromeda Strain and the Meaning of Life." SFI President, David Krakauer, kicks this series off by discussing some of the challenging questions at the center of origins of life research that emerge in Michael Crichton's "Andromeda Strain." What can a science-fiction film about an invasive, alien virus tell us about life, on earth and beyond? Each week, we'll host a conversation between experts on this subject. Tune in next Tuesday for a follow-up between David Krakauer and Chris Kempes. Future confirmed panelists include Kate Adamala, Sara Imari Walker, Lee Cronin, Pete Worden and Jeremy England.
