🌊 Today, on #WorldOceansDay, we acknowledge that Earth's oceans are of astrobiological interest as they are dynamic chemical environments. 🔬
From hydrothermal vents 🌋 to mineral-rich seafloors 🪨, the ocean provides energy, interfaces, and opportunities for complexity to emerge and evolve. 🌍
🌍 Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we celebrate the remarkable environment of our own planet.
Earth's oceans, continents, and climate have shaped the chemistry that sustains life and drives its diversity. In ecosystems 🌱🌳, complexity emerges through the interaction between life and its environment.
🔆 May 16 is the International Day of Light🔆 We celebrate that light is science, culture, education, and sustainable development.
🔍 Through spectroscopy, we can explore the universe by reading the fingerprints of atoms and molecules in exoplanet atmospheres🪐 and the interstellar medium🌌 .
The 5th Interdisciplinary Origin of Life meeting for early career researchers (IOoL26) will take place in Tokyo, at the Earth-Life Science Institute, September 9th to 11th, 2026.
The call for abstract submission is still open! 🏃♂️➡️
