Liv Hornekær on "Videnskab for vilde hjerner" podcast

On the hunt for the origin of life

Woman with photoshopped head

For the Danish podcast, Videnskab fra vilde hjerner, Liv explains what she is passionate about when chasing the origin of life, discovering where in the Universe the molecular building blocks of life - amino acids, DNA bases, sugar and fatty acids - are formed. Are these building blocks present before the stars and planets are formed? If these molecules are available in all star- and planet systems from their formation, life can also form other places.
