Exploring Extraterrestrial Life through Science and Science Fiction w/ Julie Nováková, Giovanni Poggiali, and Eric Choi

For Easter week, as most people share fables of giant anthropomorphic rabbits distributing chocolate eggs, we are Exploring Extraterrestrial Life through Science and Science Fiction. Later in the show, we will welcome Julie Nováková, Giovanni Poggiali, and Eric Choi to the show, talking about their new anthology, Life Beyond Us.The idea of alien life has fascinated us for centuries. While science fiction has often portrayed extraterrestrial beings as having advanced intelligence, strange abilities, and/or a thirst for human flesh, the scientific reality is likely somewhat different. So, let’s buckle up and take a journey through the fictional and scientific world of extraterrestrial life, shall we? This is a public episode.
