Check out Mike Lee on Talk Nerdy, episode 67
I'd like to give a quick plug to a colleague, Mike Lee, who appeared on the podcast Talk Nerdy with Cara Santa Maria in episode 67 last week. In it, Cara asks Mike to explain what we might expect life to look like on other worlds and how diving to the bottom of the ocean on Earth informs those predictions. Mike is a graduate student at USC and a collaborator, and he speaks very well. Follow the link and have a listen.
In related news, NASA has approved the Europa Clipper mission to proceed. Europa is a moon of Jupiter which has been considered by many to be the most likely home to extraterrestrial life in our solar system. This reputation was built on the results of a flyby by the Galileo spacecraft two decades ago which provided evidence of a gigantic ocean beneath the surface of the moon. Finally, a dedicated mission will provide us with new information on which to improve our predictions. You can find more info at the links below:
