Universal Biosignatures for the Detection of Life
<p>My goal is to identify processes of life that leave measurable effects on an organism's environment, but which are not tied to any particular biochemistry, in order to build a conceptual framework for the search for extraterrestrial life. To this end, I test a pair of phenomena that ap...
