Crawley Astronomical Society

‘Change and Adapt: Across the Universe!’

In keeping with the theme of British Science Week, Dr Sarah Crick will present her unique take on this theme in her talk entitled ‘Change and Adapt: Across the Universe’! She will deliver an interactive presentation in person, offering many chances for the audience to decide the direction of the talk (featuring a wheel of fortune)! She will speak about how the Earth is changing, how humans could possibly adapt to life in space, how we can adapt to live in the Solar System and, to round things off, where the worst places to live in the universe could be!
