WHAT IS LIFE?
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
In 1943, the famous Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger delivered a
series of lectures in Trinity College, Dublin entitled "What is
Life?". The resulting book proved immensely influential for the
development of molecular biology. This symposium commemorates the
50th anniversary of the original lectures, and will be held again in
Trinity College, Dublin. The aim will be to emulate Schrodinger's
approach by speculating on future directions for the biological
sciences. Highly eminent scientists including five Nobel laureates
will be speaking, in what promises to be an unique and stimulating
event.
Speakers:
Jared Diamond -- "The evolution of human inventiveness"
