- **Event Name**: A Pilgrimage to Life's Beginnings | Our Universe Revealed Talk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 03 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: How did life begin on Earth nearly four billion years ago — and how simple was it at the start? In this talk, Saurja DasGupta will invite you on a journey through humanity’s long quest to understand life’s origins, from early philosophical ideas to modern chemical experiments. Through stories, artwork, and cutting-edge science, we’ll explore how simple molecules may have organized into the first living systems — and what that might reveal about the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.

Meet the speaker: Saurja DasGupta, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at University of Notre Dame.
