Packed Lunch on Mars

Mars

Is there life on Mars? If there is, it’s going to have to survive some pretty harsh conditions. The latest Packed Lunch talk featured astrobiologist Lewis Dartnell taking us on a trip to our nearest planetary neighbour.

You can read my account of the talk over on the Wellcome Collection blog, where you can also listen to/download the podcast.

Packed Lunch is a regular series of science talks featuring local(ish) researchers talking about their research, motivations, inspirations and what it’s like to be a scientist. Visit the Wellcome Collection website for more info. You can also listen to past talks in the archive.
