The talk is designed for general audiences, and the public is invited to attend the free event.
Dr. Michael Grady, professor of physics at SUNY Fredonia noted, “Our Earth is basically a ‘waterworld’ unlike the other planets in our solar system. It stands to reason that similar water-planets would be the best places to look for life. Dr. Williams will talk about strategies to detect such planets around other stars, which will soon be possible.”
Dr. Williams' presentation has been organized by the departments of Physics, Geosciences, and Chemistry and Biochemistry, and is sponsored by the Phyllis and Lawrence Patrie Endowment for the Sciences of the Fredonia College Foundation.
