the great debate: what is life?
oh, joy... enthralling, fast-paced, funny -- please listen to this discussion at TSN:
'richard dawkins, j. craig venter, nobel laureates sidney altman and leland hartwell, chris mckay, paul davies, lawrence krauss, and the science network’s roger bingham discuss the origins of life, the possibility of finding life elsewhere, and the latest development in synthetic biology.'
this discussion combines cutting-edge thinking with humor, science, star trek -- you name it, it's got it.
thank you, RDFRS!
