What if Earth isn’t just alive, but alive because of life? In this special virtual lecture, acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr shares insights from his new book Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came To Life, in which he reimagines the planet as a dynamic system — in which forests summon rain and microbes sculpt continents. It’s science that reads like poetry, pulling readers into a world where the boundary between living and nonliving is far more fluid than we think.

media release: Join us for a unique opportunity to hear from acclaimed science writer Ferris Jabr. Jabr will share about his book, Becoming Earth: How our Planet Came to Life where he reveals a radical new vision of Earth where lush forests spew water, pollen, and bacteria to summon rain; giant animals engineer the very landscapes they roam; microbes chew rock to shape continents; and microscopic plankton, some as glittering as carved jewels, remake the air and sea.
