SUMMARY:How Did Life Originate on Earth?
DESCRIPTION:How did life originate on Earth? \nA forgotten experiment from the 1960s paved the way for cutting-edge research into the origin of life\, and this talk explores the link. Vidyanand Nanjundiah\, honorary professor at the Centre for Human Genetics\, Bengaluru\, and Shashi Thutupalli\, associate professor at the Centre for Living Machines\, NCBS-TIFR\, are in conversation with journalist Indulekha Aravind. \nNanjundiah opens with the major hypotheses on the origin of life and their limitations. Thutupalli then shares his own findings\, built on a simple experiment tracing back to the jeewanu (“particles of life”) work of Krishna Bahadur and S. Ranganayaki — a scientist couple at the University of Allahabad whose research had long been forgotten. Then\, joined by Aravind\, they discuss implications of this discovery and the future of the field. \n\nVenue: Seminar Halls\n\n\n\nFrom Forgotten Experiments to New Insights\nRSVP here (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUGTAOR5_RRuGYQy43mSiB8O7HYWKioFRcLHKOImwYP_OYXA/viewform?usp=publish-editor)\n \n*Speakers*: Vidyanand Nanjundiah\, Shashi Thutupalli\, Indulekha Aravind\n*Event Categories*: Science
