Spaceq

Happy New Year, this is the first SpaceQ podcast of 2020 and the last in our three part Winter Series from other creators. Today our podcast is from the Perimeter Institute and features Elizabeth Tasker in a live public lecture from November 6, 2019. Her lecture is titled "Home away from home, the hunt for habitable planets." Tasker is a British astrophysicist, science writer and an Associate Professor at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.As you’ll hear, Tasker is a very good science communicator. In this lecture, she takes a very complicated topic, the hunt for exoplanets, and in particular habitable worlds, and provides the listener with a true appreciation of what we know and don’t know, how we search and where we might find life. I was enlightened by her lecture, and I think you will be as well.Listen in. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
