This talk was given by at the Pfizer LT, Dept of Chemistry on 04/11/2025 .

Abstract
Exploration across the solar system and of worlds beyond is nearing the point where we can ask whether any of these objects are habitable and inhabited. To answer this question required an outstanding understanding of their non-biological processes. This talk will consider the route to finding signs of life we can confidently interpret as biological in origin.
