What other environments are there in our solar system and beyond? Could they support life? What would that life look like? In this talk Marta tells us more about the science of Astrobiology and what we can expect in the next space missions to Mars or Jupiter´s moon Europa.

Marta is passionate about Astrobiology and science outreach. Holding a masters degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology from the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto, she did her master thesis at the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) in Madrid. Currently she is doing a PhD in Space Microbiology at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne.
