"I'm telling you, the fish that got away was this big!" Brian Glaser has always wanted to be a marine biologist since the age of four.
Approximately 80 people came out Friday night to enjoy our first AstroTalk Double-Header featuring Karen Meech, UH Institute for Astrornomy astronomer and Brian Glazer, UH IfA Astrobiology Institute Marine Biologist. Meech's talk was about how life begins and evolves, and whether there is life elsewhere in the Universe. Glazer spoke about his research involving the biology of deep sea hydrothermal vents. The audience was very attentive and the lectures were very informative.
