About the event
Dr. Pascal Lee is a planetary scientist with the SETI Institute. He first proposed the view that while there are likely many advanced civilizations across the Universe, there may actually be very few within any given galaxy. In our own Milky Way galaxy, we might be it. He will explain the factors that come into consideration in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, why we might be alone in our Galaxy, what it means for the future of human interstellar travel, and why SETI should aim to detect advanced civilizations in other galaxies, some far, far away.
