Astronomy Day Talk - Are We Alone: The Search for Alien Life in the Universe

Join astronomer and author Jon Willis for a whistle-stop tour of the current state of the search for life beyond Earth.  Where should we be looking, what techniques should we use and what might we expect to find? Take a ride around the planets and moons of our own solar system before boldly striking out for the exoplanets that lie beyond.
