DESCRIPTION:*FREE ENTRY*\n\n_A panel debate that asks: Do aliens really ex
 ist? What might they look like? And how might science and society react if
  we found them?_\n\nHuman beings have long speculated on the existence of 
 life elsewhere in the universe\, but only now are we tackling the question
  with science. Astronomers are using increasingly sophisticated techniques
  to find and analyse exoplanets. Meanwhile\, biologists are searching for 
 life in our solar system. Science fiction has imagined a wide variety of a
 lien life. We'll be asking if the aliens of literature\, art and film have
  a basis in science and\, if not\, we'll find out what biologists really t
 hink aliens\nlook like.\n\nJoin us for a lively and informative evening of
  scientific speculation in search of the answers to all of these questions
  and more. Refreshments will be available after the talk and Q&A session.\
