Lunchtime Discovery: Adventures in Astrobiology

Sarah "Space Case" Treadwell

Space Case Sarah, Science Communicator, PhD Communications Candidate,  University of North Dakota, Visiting Scholar Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador

Professional science communicator Sarah Treadwell will share with you her passion for astrobiology, which has taken her on epic adventures. She has traveled from the high desert of Utah as an analog astronaut at the Mars Desert Research Station, to the Lost City Hydrothermal Field in the middle of the Atlantic as a communicator on board the ocean core drilling research vessel, the JOIDES Resolution. Her love for adventure also translates into her personal life, taking her from an altitude of 17,500 feet at Mount Everest Base Camp to 95 feet underwater while scuba diving. All the while she is driven by a love of space science and communicating with others the grand beauty and mystery of our universe.
