Episode 63: Dr. Aaron Burton on What Meteorites Can Teach Us About Life
Monday, 10 November, 2025
How did life start on Earth and could life exist elsewhere? On this exciting episode of Let’s Talk Chemistry edited by David Alvia, hosts Erin Suh, Elizabeth Li, and Aanya Santosh discuss our interview with Dr. Aaron Burton, a Program Scientist in the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters. Dr. Burton tackles these two questions head-on in his studies of meteorites and other astromaterial samples. By analyzing the organic molecules in these extraterrestrial samples, Dr. Burton is able to piece together what the origins of life on Earth could have looked like. In addition, Dr. Burton shares the special techniques used by astrobiologists to handle and examine extraterrestrial samples, as well as his thoughts on popular sci-fi films! We hope you enjoy!
