Don't miss out on the last tickets for this lecture


How Life on Earth Began, with guest speakers Nick Lane (Reader in Evolutionary Biochemistry, UCL) and Matthew Powner (Lecturer in Chemistry, UCL), explores perhaps the biggest question in biology, "how did life get started?".

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear two of the foremost experts in their field talk about candidate ideas for how chemistry became biology, which takes us from dark, rocky outcrops on the sea floor, to Darwin's "warm little pond" in the full glare of sunlight. But be quick as there aren't many tickets left.

Mostly because Nick Lane and Matthew Powner know their shit. Nick Lane has been pushing a proton-gradient first model of life, similar to the one proposed and currently being experimented on at the Chemistry and Astrobiology group at NASA Astrobiology lead by Michael Russell, and served as advisor to Brian Cox on the episode "What is Life?", which dealt with one of the most promising contemporary hypotheses on the origins of life, in his Wonders of Life BBC series.
