Weiter geht es in der „Wir müssen reden“ Sektion mit einem Star Trek Block bzw. Update sowie ein paar allgemeinen Reviews, und Humanity on Trial bewegt sich irgendwo zwischen österreichischen Politschildbürgerstreichen und europäischen Raketenstarts.

S11E68: SOLIKO Gratwein / Star Trek Update / Reviews

Guest: Dr. Anirudh Prabhu 

Mike brings aboard Dr. Anirudh Prabhu to discuss an exciting new study of theirs that uses machine learning trained on organic chemical data to detect the "whispers" of life—including photosynthetic life—in ancient rocks. This exciting technique could one day be used to seek out new life on strange new worlds.

Mike & Anirudh's paper, "Organic geochemical evidence for life in Archean rocks identified by pyrolysis–GC–MS and supervised machine learning": https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2514534122
