    Great talk with a great scientist! Took part in Dr Charles Cockell Astrobiology coursera course as well - incredibly interesting subject. Shame it has so few views.

      That 's because everyone is mad about engineering and physics. Everyone just ignores the awesome biology.

    Just want to say how wonderful. I met Charles through the Alien Life on Mars Data Nugget. Always has been one of my favorites. Will there be a sequel with the microb rocks?

      Coming back to this. Apologies that we missed your comment 2 years ago. We should definitely see about having Charles on the show again :)

    I wish to become an astrobiologist. Maths is tough for me. Can I become an astrobiologist after taking PCB in class 11 and 12 and a degree in biology ?

      Definitely a great answer! "Asking questions like “What’s the universe made of?”, “Is there life out there?”: These are questions that really define us as a species that can think as a civilization that can go beyond purely animal instinct"

      However, I am a medical student now and studying is on quite well.

      @@prithaganguly9062 That's wonderful to hear! When I was working on my biology and chemistry degrees, I spent quite some time considering going pre-med and becoming a doctor. Indeed, my sister and law went that route and managed to become an MD and Captain in the U.S. Army on the same day. There's a lot of value in pursuing medical studies, not just for becoming a healer, but also in your learning about the physiology and biochemistry of the human body for your own health and wellbeing. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your studies!

    Thanks for doing this, but please work on your sound issues (eg: get a microphone perhaps?). You are scientists but you sound like you are talking through a rotten potatoe.

    • @nasaastrobiology
      @nasaastrobiology  7 років тому +7

      Both are obviously using microphones. What you're hearing is the audio compression from videoconferencing. This was a videocon between the UK and California.
