The NASA Astrobiology Program invites you to share and discover in a Seminar Series of its Research Coordination Network: Prebiotic Chemistry and Early Earth Environments (PCE₃). 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 24th, from 1:00-2:30 pm (EST) and will be held every 3rd Thursday on a continuing basis. Shifts in the seminar hours will occur with notice later in the year for inclusion of participants in Europe/Australasia. Additionally, sessions will be recorded with the permission of the speakers and uploaded to the PCE₃ YouTube Channel.

This session's speakers are Tyler Roche and Bryce Clifton, from the Hud & Grover Labs at the Georgia Institute of Technology, with an introduction by Dr. Nicholas Hud, Regents Professor of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Tyler Roche will talk about “Ketoses: The Key to Prebiotic Nucleoside Formation?”

Bryce Clifton will talk about “Achieving multiple rounds of nucleic acid replication in a prebiotic solvent: A solution to the product inhibition problem”.

Please register at the link above. If the Zoom meeting reaches capacity, the seminar will be live-streamed to the PCE₃ YouTube channel for concurrent viewing. And visit the PCE3 Seminar Series website for previous sessions.
