The evolution of amino acids in space, genes in the environment, and societal implications

Can building blocks of life be formed in space? Can we predict evolution? Big questions with big implications. We will study the formation of amino acids in space and probe how much evolutionary change is predictable. And we will develop tools to avoid overselling the implications of our outcomes.
