Astrobiologists haven't yet found life among the stars. But Peter Ward of the University of Washington thinks it's high time scientists started to think about what they'll do when they do find an alien life form. To the point: How will we fit it into our taxonomic systems? "There is a very large void, I thought, on what an alien is and isn't," says Ward, a paleontologist and head of the university's NASA Astrobiology Institute node. "No one had really thought heavily about what alien life would be."
