Watch episode

She has an asteroid named after her, orbiting another named after her husband, scientist Carl Sagan. American Ann Druyan, who wrote and co-produced the series «Cosmos», is the opening guest for Science and Education Month.

In this talk, she tells us about the cosmos and the possible worlds it contains. From the emergence of life in volcanoes at the bottom of the sea to solar-powered ships navigating the galaxy; from the Big Bang to the intricacies of the intelligence of many life forms, Ann Druyan discusses humanity, where we came from and where we are going, using her unique talent for communicating complex scientific concepts.

With commentary from physicist Carlos Fiolhais and moderation by Vasco Trigo.
