Searching for Life in the Universe

Are we alone in the universe?

The Leonard E. Parker Center for Gravitation, Cosmology and Astrophysics, in partnership with the Manfred Olson Planetarium, invites you to an evening with UWM Professor Dawn Erb to learn how the latest science is addressing this ancient question. We'll examine what the origin and evolution of life on Earth may tell us about the potential for life on other worlds, and then turn to the possibility of life elsewhere in our solar system and on planets around other stars.

Please reserve your free spot for this event by October 12, 2025.

The event will be held in Room 108 of UW-Milwaukee's new Chemistry building. There will be a reception at 6:30 PM, and the program starts at 7:00 PM. There will be complimentary desserts and a bar with drinks for purchase in the lobby. We look forward to seeing you there!
