Dr. Schulze-Makuch will give an author talk, followed by Q&A with the public and then a book signing.  Copies of the book will be available for purchase on-site through The Bookie.

Dr. Schulze-Makuch is a professor, teaching at the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences, and director of the Laboratory for Astrobiological Investigations and Space Mission Planning at Washington State University; he has written four other books and numerous scholarly articles on life, or the possibilities thereof, elsewhere in the universe.
