On the creation of life 2

Experts from all over the world met for four days during the Summer 2024 invited by the Niels Bohr Institute to discuss the available knowledge on the theme: Are we a Unique Species on a Unique Planet?
- or are we just the ordinary Galactic standard?. 

A selection of recognised scientist gave their best bid on:

  • Life on Exoplanets?
  • Disks and pre-biology
  • Terrestrial contra alien biology
  • Future of life and humanity

In this podcast, Science Journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories is interviewing Professor Uffe Gråe Jørgensen from the Centre for Exolife Sciences at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, about the debate between more than a hundred researchers that participated in the conference.
