Join speculative fiction author Hanna Thomas Uose and biologist-writer Simon Watt as they tackle the question of immortality.

What happens when a novelist and a biologist team up to tackle the question of immortality?

Join speculative fiction author Hanna Thomas Uose (Who Wants to Live Forever) and biologist-writer Simon Watt for a mind-bending conversation that blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction. Together, they’ll explore alternate realities, scientific possibilities, and how creative writing can help readers to connect with big ideas.
