BMSIS Research Scientist: Dr. Craig Walton

The race is on to discover the origins of life on Earth. I approach the question from a geological perspective – attempting to understand the early environment of our planet so that it might be recreated in the lab… hopefully along with the spontaneous emergence of life!

This research naturally leads to thinking about whether or not there is life beyond Earth, as well as the ways in which our planet has been altered over its long history by life.
