SUMMARY:Local Expert Lecture: "Learning from Aliens"
DESCRIPTION: \n\nBruce Balick\, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at 
 University of Washington\, will present a talk on his area of expertise. 
 (Bruce Balick | Department of Astronomy | University of Washington). There 
 will be a Q&A after his talk. This is the continuation of an informal 
 series of talks given by locals with expertise in a field. 
 \n\n\n\nAbstract:   No one knows whether life exists elsewhere in the 
 Universe. But even if we are completely alone\, aliens have much to teach 
 us about ourselves.  We learn that humans are probably just as strange as 
 inhabitants of most other planets.\n\n\n\nBio:\n\nBalick joined the UW 
 Astronomy Department in 1975. Subsequently he served as its chair\, became 
 active in UW faculty governance\, and participated in the design of new 
 instrumentation for Hubble. Since his retirement in 2014 Balick continues 
 to publish research papers using data from both the James Webb and the 
 Hubble Space Telescopes and to supervise astronomy undergraduates in 
 research and public outreach.\n\n
