Here’s a wallop of a query: How did life begin on Earth? This fundamental question is a driving force behind astrobiology at NASA because understanding how life originated on Earth could inform us about the potential for life to exist beyond our planet: astrobiology.nasa.gov

Our next seminar is coming up on Monday, July 10th at 1PM ET/5PM UTC! Dr. Paula Welander (Paula Welander) from Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability will present on "Membrane biosynthesis in archaea” #astrobiology

Interplanetary probes and space telescopes are taking the search for life beyond Earth to new heights, but some of the most crucial work is happening far below, in labs on Earth. go.nasa.gov/3PG87Cf

Starting my journey to #goldschmidt2023! I’ll be presenting my work titled “Probing modern microbial genomes for resurrecting ancient metabolisms” on Friday the 14th at 9:15 am. Reach out if you’ll be there, would love to meet up and chat! ☺️

📢 Interested in our work? MUSE researchers Morgan Sobol, Ariel Anbar, Katy Rico, PhD and Anne Dekas will be presenting at Goldschmidt next week! Reach out and say hi!

Friendly reminder that the LIFE-To & Beyond Foundation® seminar "membrane biosynthesis in archaea" will start in two hours! Featuring Dr. Paula V. Welander from the University of Stanford

Join us in half an hour for Dr. Paula Welander's seminar "Membrane biosynthesis in archaea"! #astrobiology

🔴 New preprint 🔴 This one is the first with someone from my lab as an author! We used previously identified metabolic rules to predict microbial community assembly along a temperature gradient (1/12). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How can we solve the problem of the origin of life? This is a challenge of the 21st century. To get there, collective efforts among experimental & theoretical approaches are much needed. Check this paper with a unifying view: arxiv.org/pdf/2308.11665… Artemy Kolchinsky Dr. 𝗝𝗼𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗖. 𝗫𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗿

If you missed the NASA Astrobiology Program’s Town Hall last week, you can now watch the recording to catch up on current events in the program. (Note that the actual discussion starts at ~31 minutes into the video) youtube.com/watch?v=SfqFBk…

Excited to share that I will be delivering this year's annual EMI lecture. Faulkner said it the best: 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' I will discuss the ancient innovations that make modern life possible. Thank you and see you in London! 💫 appliedmicrobiology.org/ems-event-cale…

📢 LIFE RCN Workshop 👉 Nitrogen cycling across planetary scales The first workshop under the LIFE: From Early Cells to Multicellularity has been announced and will take place on October 18th and 20th, 2023. The registration deadline is October 11th, 2023. LINK: astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/life-rcn-… #Astrobiology #Workshop

Our latest work is out today. We developed a CRISPR interference system for programmable gene knockdown in the nitrogen-fixing model Azotobacter vinelandii. Congrats to lead author Steven Russell and thanks to Hypothesis Fund for the support! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… UW-Madison Department of Bacteriology
