Welcome to ‘from the archive’, the IES audio series bringing you environmental science analysis and insights taken from the archive of past articles written by IES members, stakeholders, and staff.

Today’s article was written in 2017 by Duane Ager & William Pope, following the February 2016 edition of the environmental SCIENTIST journal: “Growing in space: Science beyond the biosphere”. After the release of the journal, the IES received a question worthy of greater exploration: “Does silicon-based life exist – and if not, why?”
