In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Erwin Schrödinger’s “What is Life?” lecture, we interviewed some of the chairs of the Schrödinger in 75 conference that happened this September. Our Executive Producer Peter Cox interviewed Prof. Aoife McLysaght, friend of the podcast Danielle Olavario interviewed Prof. Luke O’Neill, and co-host Dan Giffney interviewed Prof. Tomás Ryan. We also have a panel from Peter, Danielle, Dan, and Brian Kennedy, all of whom went to the conference.
