The May 2024 edition of the Space Cafe Tokyo will feature ELSI visiting postdoctoral researcher Dr. Danilo Albergaria (Leiden University) presenting: Philosophical and Historical Perspectives on Solar System Formation Theories

The history of theories on the origins of the Solar System – now developed into the full-blown science of planetary systems formation – betrays the tortuous and unexpected ways with which science makes progress. Dr. Danilo Albergaria (Leiden University) will discuss the philosophical and historical perspective on stellar-planetary-systems formation concepts.

Speaker info:

Dr. Albergaria has a diverse background as a teacher (in Brazil), science journalist, and a PhD in Philosophy of Science. His approach for science and society is to think, inquire, write, talk, share.
