A lecture on the question of life beyond Earth and Fermi's paradox

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in orbit around nearby star systems has reopened an old question for stellar astronomy: Do any of those star systems contain habitable planets, and do any of those planets contain civilizations? Known as Fermi's paradox, its solution is relevant to the very survival of our own planet.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.

Science Pub Kennedy School is a monthly event that is open to anyone and everyone. No RSVP or scientific background required. Just bring your curiosity, sense of humor, and appetite for food, drinks and knowledge! For more information or to sign up for our mailing list, email: sciencepub@omsi.edu.
