In this talk Jennifer will reveal a life changing formula that will lead us on the path to being extraordinary even when we encounter setbacks along the way.   FIND OUT MORE THE QUEST FOR LIFE'S ORIGIN  Michael Marshall, Freelance science writer How did life on Earth begin? This is one of the most profound questions we can ask, and for almost a century, a small band of eccentric scientists has struggled to explain it. There are many proposals, and each idea has attracted believers who promote it fervently, as well as detractors who reject it with equal passion. However, it now seems all these ideas are profoundly wrong. Most aim to kick-start life with just one component, like a gene. But this doesn’t work. Instead, it may be that life began with all its major components, just in drastically simplified form.  FIND OUT MORE HOW TO LEAVE THE PANET: A ROUGH GUIDE TO SPACE TRAVEL Suzie Imber, Associate Professor in Space Physics, University of Leicester  and Dallas Campbell, Television presenter and author Embark on the ultimate tour of the history and science in our quest to explore the cosmos - from our first tentative footsteps, to the very latest missions and ideas that are expanding our knowledge of the universe.
