The talk is focused on the interplay between astrophysics and nuclear physics, which is called 'nuclear astrophysics'. Professor Descouvemont gives an introduction about the way stars are born and how different they evolve. It is shown that nuclear reactions play a central role in the star evolution: they produce the energy released by the stars, and determine the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements.

Social theory based on natural selection - which includes the theory of self-deception as an adaptive strategy - and biology of selfish genetic elements - which explains certain internal genetic conflicts - are the issues outlined in this lecture by the evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers, who began his studies investigating and developing theories of reciprocal altruism, parental investment in care of offspring, sexual selection, parent-offspring conflict, the ratio between the number of males and females, deception and self-deception.
