About This Event

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry presents the 36th Annual Timothy O'Leary, S.J., Distinguished Scientist Lecture "Breathing Worlds: Gaseous Fingerprints of Life", presented by Jennifer B. Glass, Ph.D.

Dr. Glass is an associate professor at Georgia Tech in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and Program Director of the Interdisciplinary Environment Sciences B.S. degree at Georgia Tech. Her talk will focus on how life (largely microbial life) “built” the Earth’s atmosphere over billions of years, and how the biosignatures of those gases can inform our search for life on exoplanets.
