Director Meets with Nobel Prize-Winning Astronomer.

CTI’s Director William Storrar met recently at an astrobiology conference at Cambridge University in the UK with the directors of CTI's new research partner, the Leverhulme Centre for Life in the Universe.

Dr. Storrar is pictured here with Professor Didier Queloz, the astronomer who was awarded a Nobel Prize as the co-discoverer of exoplanets, and Professor Emily Mitchell, the organizer of the conference.

Dr. Storrar heard presentations by scientists doing research in every scientific field from astronomy to zoology on the potential of the universe to harbor biological life beyond Earth.

The Leverhulme Centre is committed to a dialogue with the Arts and Humanities on the questions raised for humanity by its scientific research on the origins and extent of life in the universe. As a Leverhulme partner, CTI will host a symposium series in Princeton to foster this dialogue.
