Thursday July 19th at the Boston Museum of Science David Charbonneau will give a talk, Beyond the Telescope: Finding Inhabited Worlds. "Are there inhabited worlds other than our own? Humans have pondered this question for generations, and now, finally, we have the technological ability to answer it. Join David Charbonneau, PhD, a professor of astronomy at Harvard University, as he tours known exoplanets, searching for the telltale molecular fingerprints of life. As a member of the NASA Kepler Mission to find Earth-like planets, he led the first studies of the compositions of exoplanets and their atmospheres, and was named Scientist of the Year by Discover Magazine."
I doubt I'll make it but I've seen him talk before and if you're at all interested in the topic, I'm sure the talk will be great.
