This site announces:

Public Lecture Series 2005, Thursday September 22, 2005, Washington DC                        Reception 5:15 p.m.,  Lecture and Discussion 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Searching for a second genesis of life in our Solar System.

While the discovery of life on another world would be of scientific interest, determining that this life was a second genesis would have more profound scientific, practical, and philosophical implications. Unfortunately, the nature of alien life cannot be determined from fossils alone. Direct biochemical and genetic analysis of Martian organisms is necessary. The organisms need not be alive but they must be biochemically intact — corpses not fossils. In this talk Dr. McKay will consider where we should look and how we might recognize life that is not like we know it.

Keynote Speaker:  Christopher P. McKay, Ph.D.,Professor of Astronomy,Research Scientist,Space Sciences Division, NASA - Ames Research Center.

Respondent : Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer, Ph.D.,  Associate Professor of Religious Studies Director, Religious Studies Program Reconstructionist Rabbinical College
