Astrobiology is necessarily still a largely speculative field, which
could make it difficult to write a book on the topic. That didn't phase
journalist and performer Jacob Berkowitz, who has a passion for science
that has started from a disadvantaged position. In his book The Stardust Revolution: The New Story of Our Origin in the Stars,
Berkowitz chronicles the histories of astronomy, chemistry, and
evolutionary biology that have come together to demonstrate that we
humans are, as Carl Sagan famously said, "made of star stuff". From
there, Berkowitz goes on to speculate about how what we know about our
own origins may inform what we can determine about life elsewhere in our
universe.Join us to talk with Berkowitz about our celestial past and possible future.
