Distinguishing between life and its end may be easy for come dians\, even immortal ones. But the task has proven surprisingly hard for biologists\, who know too much about nature'\;s bewildering diversity. Modern science\, for all its breakthroughs\, has yet to produce a standar d definition for life.\nWhat does it mean to be alive—and how have our a nswers to that question evolved over time? What roles do cells\, genes\, e volution\, chemistry\, and information play in determining life? And what does it really mean to create and protect life in our age of apocalypse an d artificial intelligence?\nSir Paul Nurse—Nobel Laureate\, director of the Francis Crick Institute in London\, and author\, most recently\, of Wh at Is Life?—visits Zócalo to discuss the search for the meaning of life .\nThe event will be moderated by Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz\, Bren Professo r of Biology and Biological Engineering at Caltech.\nThis is a free event co-presented with Zócalo Public Square\, but reservations are required.\n ▶︎ LEARN MORE and MAKE A FREE RESERVATION\n LOCATION:Online Event URL:https://www.caltech.edu/campus-life-events/calendar/behind-the-book-pa ul-nurse END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
