The PCE₃ Seminar Series is designed to highlight diverse origins of life research from all over the world, spark interdisciplinary discussion, and facilitate research connections among the PCE₃ community. A primary goal of this series is to showcase the work of talented early career scientists in PCE₃ sciences.

The series continues on Thursday, June 9th, from 1:00-2:30 pm (EST). Additionally, sessions will be recorded with the permission of the speakers and uploaded to the PCE ₃ YouTube Channel.

The topic of this session is "mineral evolution", presented by Shaunna Morrison, Anirudh Prabhu, and Micah Schaible.

Shaunna Morrison will present “Mineral Informatics: A mineralogist's perspective”.

Anirudh Prabhu will present “Mineral Informatics: A data scientist's perspective”.

Micah Schaible will present "Mineral Surfaces as Sites for Prebiotic Chemistry: CaCO₃catalysis of uridine phosphorylation".
