Tonight on Perpetual Notion Machine host Emily Morris talks with Sanjay Limaye. Sanjay is a Distinguished Scientist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Space Science and Engineering Center who studies what is absorbing sunlight on our neighbor planet Venus. We discuss the possibility of life for extremophile bacteria in its clouds, what else we're looking for in space, how Venus's history relates to climate change, and what a couple of our favorite sci-fi authors would think about life on Venus.

Sanjary recently curated a series of articles for Astrobiology that all have to do with the potential for life on Venus. You can find all those fascinating papers accessible online in the Astrobiology journal edition from October 2021.
