Our guest is Dr. Lindsay Hays, Program Scientist for the NASA Astrobiology Program, Deputy Lead Scientist for the Mars Sample Return Campaign, and Program Scientist for the DAVINCI mission to explore Venus.
Lindsay's scientific background includes work on lipid biosignatures for mass extinctions, mass evolutionary radiations, and photosynthetic organisms in hot springs. She spent time at JPL in the Mars Program Office where she was the Sample Return Science System Engineer and also worked on science activities for Humans to Mars. Tune-in for a discussion about field expeditions to Western Australia, exploring the origin and evolution of Venus, and NASA's most recent missions to bring samples from outer space back to Earth.
