We are astrobiologists, exploring the coevolution of Earth and life. Together, we study key innovations in the transition from early cells to multicellularity, to inform our search for life on other worlds.
Building a community of transdisciplinary scientists
We are a network of astrobiologists with diverse interests and expertise, aligned around a single goal: to understand how life evolves. We welcome scientists from all disciplines to pursue this goal with us!
We need to study our past to have any hope of estimating or locating life elsewhere. The journey from single cells to multicellularity relied on critical biological innovations. How did life learn to use metals? How did plants learn to chew sunlight? How did cells learn to replicate given only a few available elements?
Our work focuses on uncovering key evolutionary events in life’s history.
