Building Blocks, From Atoms to Anatomy: The Science Behind What Makes Us Who We Are Online

Our existence is shaped by fundamental scientific principles, from the atoms that make up our bodies to the evolutionary forces that have guided us. Join us for an engaging exploration led by three expert speakers as we uncover the fascinating science that forms the foundation of life.

  • Evolutionary Forces: Explore how our bodies evolved into their current form, and how we are connected to both our ancestors and other species in the grand story of life on Earth.
  • The Chemistry of Life: Dive into the everyday molecules and chemical reactions that power our bodies and shape our world.
  • The Origins of the Elements: Learn how the universe created the building blocks of matter, from the Big Bang to the explosive deaths of stars, revealing the cosmic origins of the elements.

Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the science that connects us to the universe!
