Clarksville, TN – When the Austin Peay State University (APSU) Science on Tap event returns to Strawberry Alley Ale Works on October 4th, two professors will examine the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.
In addition to that centuries-old question, Dr. Meagan Mann, a professor in the APSU Department of Chemistry, and Dr. Allyn Smith, a professor in the Department of Physics, Engineering and Astronomy, will address some of the common misconceptions about astrobiology, what we know about water, carbon-based molecules and other precursors to life, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life on our own planet.
The presentation – titled “Aliens on Tap” – on Tuesday, October 4th will start at 5:30pm and will be held at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley.
Science on Tap is hosted by Austin Peay State University’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
