This episode is one of our periodical non-business episodes. My guest this time is Dr. Graham Lau, an astrobiologist at Blue Marble Space and, among other things, the host of the NASA show “Ask an astrobiologist”. By pure chance, we recorded just a few days after it was announced that researchers may have found a biomarker for life in the atmosphere of Venus. Of course we talk about that, but also about many other things. If you want to know how we go about finding potential life elsewhere in the universe, this episode’s for you.
