Time Travel: Visiting Ancient Life on Earth
Join biogeochemist and science journalist Fatima Husain for a quick how-to on how to travel time on Earth! Using fossils and information hidden within life’s genetic code, scientists and science enthusiasts alike can travel back billions of Earth years to explore the origins of life, climate change, and even astrobiology.
In this brief talk, join MIT biogeochemist and science journalist Fatima Husain for an exploration into how ancient information hidden within fossils and the genetic code can help scientists travel back in time to early Earth.
As these scientists travel, the information they decipher lends clues about how Earth and life co-evolved over billions of years, how Earth’s climate and habitability has changed over time, and helps us define life as we know it. Following the talk, there will be time for a brief Q&A.
