As a science writer, I love reporting about the many wondrous forms life can take, from brilliant cephalopods to cunning viruses. But sometimes I stop and wonder about life itself. What is it? How do we define it? How do we know it when we see it? Why does it exist at all?

To explore these questions, I hosted a series of live conversations with some leading thinkers on life—including chemists, physicists, and a philosopher — at Caveat in New York City.

Now you can now listen to these conversations in an eight-episode podcast series, “What Is Life?”

Here are a few platform links:

You can also listen to them on carlzimmer.com and Medium. On both sites I've added show notes.
