The study of biology at the molecular and cellular level has revealed common features shared by all living things.  This insight provides the basis for understanding key events in evolution and underpins the study of life’s origins on earth and the ongoing search for life on other worlds.

3/29:  Tracing the Tree of Life:  Molecules as documents of evolutionary history.

4/5:    Probing deep time and exploring early evolution.

4/12:  How life began and the search for life on other worlds.
