“The deep sea, the origin of life, and astrobiology ” – A short article appeared in the Institute Letter

Recently a short article I wrote on Earth’s last frontiers—the deep-sea—appeared in the Institute for Advanced Studies Institute Letter. In the article I briefly speak about the discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and how deep-sea exploration has changed our view on life and habitability. You can read the article at the following link https://www.ias.edu/ideas/2016/giovannelli-last-frontier. I strongly believe that deep-sea exploration, and a better understanding of the largest ecosystem of our planet could help us to shed light on the emergence and evolution of life on our planet.
Enjoy!
