From the Death of the Dinosaurs to the Stardust in your Bones

Almost 14 billion years ago, the Big Bang created the seeds of our present-day Universe. Modern astronomers use telescopes and computers as time-machines, compressing millions of years of history into the blink of an eye to study the inexorable forces at work during that process. Material from space – the complex organic molecules necessary for life – has rained down upon our planet for billions of years. The history of life on Earth is unequivocally tied to the stars. Join Drs. Steve Croft and David Lindberg as they discuss the interconnection between astronomy and evolution in this informal forum for discussing interesting and relevant scientific issues.
