Channel: Blue Marble Space
Date: 2020-09-05

Tara Djokic is an astrobiologist from Australia. During her studies as a geology graduate student, she discovered direct evidence that indicates some of Earth's oldest life once thrived in hot springs on land -- pushing back the record of land-based hot springs on Earth by approximately three billion years and supporting Darwin's hypothesis that life may have started in some "warm little pond". In this interview, Tara is talking about her research work on origins of life and also talking about her journey as a scientist and astrobiology perspective.
