I am an Astrobiologist & Planetary Scientist that studies extreme environments on Earth as Mars analog environments, to prepare for future Mars sample return missions. Thanks to my research, I was invited to be part of the Landing Site Selection workshops for the NASA Mars 2020 planetary mission. Last year I was one of the five Analog Astronauts for the first UK Analogue Space Research Mission. I am also the Principal Investigator of a Mars Analog Expedition to search for habitable environments in Iceland, where I´m collaborating with the Iceland Space Agency, NASA and the Space Exploration Institute of Macau. I´ve done a lot of public outreach, with multiple radio interviews, TV and social media appearances. Three years ago, Harper’s BAZAAR magazine awarded me the title of Visionary Woman 2020...I hope you enjoy this channel! :)
