SUMMARY:The Square Kilometre Array: At the Frontiers of Astronomy, Physics,
  and Astrobiology
DESCRIPTION:The Square Kilometre Array: At the Frontiers of Astronomy, Phys
 ics, and Astrobiology\nProf. Joseph Lazio\n\nThe Square Kilometre Array is
  intended to be the centimeter- and meter-wavelength telescope for the 21s
 t Century. Originally proposed as the "hydrogen telescope," the science ca
 se is now recognized to be much broader, and the SKA will address fundamen
 tal questions in astrophysics, physics, and astrobiology.  The internation
 al science community has developed a set of Key Science Programs: (1) Emer
 ging from the Dark Ages and the Epoch of Reionization; (2) Galaxy Evolutio
 n, Cosmology, and Dark Energy; (3) The Origin and Evolution of Cosmic Magn
 etism; (4) Strong Field Tests of Gravity Using Pulsars and Black Holes; an
 d (5) The Cradle of Life & Astrobiology.  I highlight how the SKA's Ke
 y Science Programs will be an integral component of the multi-wavelength, 
 multi-messenger frontiers for astronomy and how the science pathfinding fo
 r the SKA is beginning now.
