Exploring the transition from traditional chemistry and biology views to a physics-centered approach in origin of life research; emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary thinking and fundamental abstractions to understand complex systems like chemistry and biology, with Sarah Walker discussing challenges in pattern deciphering.
How does a group of molecules transition into something that is life? And what do even mean when we say 'life'?
To explore the origin of life, we’re joined again by Sara Walker, Deputy Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, Associate Professor in Earth and Space Exploration and Complex Adaptive Systems at Arizona State University, and External Faculty at the Santa Fe Institute.
