for life? What form might it take in extraterrestrial environments, and what
can these explorations teach us about life on our own planet? Neil deGrasse
Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, hosted a
fascinating conversation with Nathalie A. Cabrol and Seth Shostak of
the SETI Institute; Vera Kolb, University of Wisconsin-Parkside; Carol
