The importance of water in the origin of life.

Last Monday  the last of the conferences programmed in our water awareness week was held. The tittle was: The importance of water in the origin of life. It was imparted by José Miñones Trillo, emeritus professor of the University of Santiago de Compostela. The professor talked about the chemical and physical properties  of water. He also explained that due to these properties life can exist in frozen seas or how plants are fed by capillarity.
