Life on Earth and Beyond, Astronomer Dimitar Sasselov

February 22, 2012

Please take this survey, it will help us with sponsors for the free podcast.  If you can:  preferred version,  if you’re pressed for time:  short version. Thanks!

We’re still on vacation but here’s more fresh content!  We are joined by Harvard Astronomy Professor,  Dimitar Sasselov for a scientific look at how the life of Planet Earth and human existence are interconnected.  And a discussion about the possibility of finding life in the universe beyond earth.  His book is The Life of Super Earths.

Plus…after the interview, a special Oscar-related bonus! (Hint: It’s something we’d usually do on Casual Friday.) Use this post as today’s thread.
