Prof. Paul CW Davies (Sydney)

Along with Stephen Hawking and Brian Green, Paul Davies is the scientist best known around the world by the general public. His books have sold tens of millions of copies, and he has appeared widely on TV. Davies is by training a cosmologist, but in recent years he has also branched out into questions of astrobiology, and the origin of life and other 'emergent properties' of physical systems. He has also written on the connections between science and religion.

Davies will give a public lecture on the origin of life, with particular attention to its possible origin on Mars.
