Searching for Exolife: In Real Life and In Stories

“Is there life beyond the Earth? This question has tantalized humanity for ages ... and has been a focus for both scientists (what is really out there?) and storytellers (what would it mean to us if it is?). Join us as we explore the ways in which exobiology – the branch of science that studies the possibility and likely nature of life on other planets – has been portrayed in media in the past, the current state of science/technology related to the search for life, and potential ways these themes can be explored in entertainment media in the future.” -Science and Entertainment Exchange
