About the SpeakerDr. Peter Ward, Professor of Astrobiology, University of Washington Dr. Ward will present on a fascinating and challenging topic which is the subject of his new book: Life as We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis of) Alien Life.
Dr. Peter Ward is a principal NASA-funded investigator to research the subject
of alien life. In his latest book, Dr. Ward is the first to take a
hard look at what life really is, what alien life might be like, and
how the evolution of the earth biology informs us about the possibilities of
life elsewhere in the galaxy. He also posits some very radical theories
about the extraterrestrial origins of life on earth.

adjunct professor of astronomy at the University of Washington. He has
