Shostak is Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, which searches for evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. In conversation with AC Grayling he talked about the hunt for life beyond Earth, and what this tells us about the nature of life throughout the universe.

This autumn Wellcome Collection joined forces with the BBC World Service to host some of the biggest names in world science. AC Grayling, Professor of Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London, discussed the social impacts of their discoveries and the frontiers of scientific knowledge.
