Description:

This grant supported a two-day symposium to explore the gap between the investigation of fine-tuning in physics and cosmology with the investigation of fine-tuning in chemistry and biochemistry. The core question under investigation was whether the physiochemical properties of water may or may not be considered biocentrically fine-tuned for the existence and evolution of life.
