Recently, astrobiologists Lucas Fifer (@fife.dawg) Recently, astrobiologists Lucas Fifer (@fife.dawg) and Hector Delgado-Diaz (@hector_emanuel) wowed a virtual crowd with 3-minute science presentations 🗣 This "Pitch Night" was part of Engage (@engagescience), a program where @uofwa graduate students learn to share their research with the wider world 🌍 This year's Engage class was taught by @uw.astrobiology's very own Andrew Shumway (@shumhow_shumway) 👨🏼‍🏫 AB💜 #astrobiology #science #stem #engagescience #scicomm #YouW
Congratulations to Dr. Eliah Overbey (@eliah.overb Congratulations to Dr. Eliah Overbey (@eliah.overbey), @uofwa Astrobiology's newest doctor! 🎉🎓 As part of her PhD thesis, Eliah studied mice that spent time on the International Space Station (@iss) to understand how spaceflight impacts gene expression 🐭🧬 Eliah will continue this line of research with a @nasa postdoctoral fellowship at Weill Medical College of Cornell University 🚀 AB💜 #astrobiology #biology #genomics #epigenetics #phd #thesisdefense #YouW
At the #HabWorlds2021 conference this week, @uofwa At the #HabWorlds2021 conference this week, @uofwa Astrobiology post-bacc research scientist Evan Davis (@astro.evan) presented a plenary talk and served on a panel about star–planet interactions 🌟🌍 Stars impact the nature and evolution of a planet's atmosphere, playing a major role in shaping its potential for life 👽 In his own research, Evan shows how stars also affect our ability to detect biosignatures on distant worlds 🔭 AB💜 #astrobiology #astronomy #planetaryscience #exoplanets
