    Professor Liane Benning (Leeds University)

    Life flourishes everywhere on Earth, even in the most extreme environments. Organic signatures suggestive of life are prime targets for NASA's and ESA's 'Search for Life' space missions to Mars and elsewhere. Prof Benning will discuss how we prepare our terrestrial life detection technology to search for life elsewhere.  And she will consider whether Earth's "extremophiles" are good analogues for life elsewhere.
