Life in the Universe, the 2015 University of Arizona College of Science Lecture Series explored our Universe at molecular, biological, planetary and cosmic scales to ask "What is life?" and how do we recognize it? What environments produce life and which attributes make something alive? How does life change? Is there life in our Solar System, or on one of countless exoplanets? Or are we alone?
