3 years of undergraduate research by Alyssa Clay and Rachel Cooke is out today in Angewandte! Their efforts were beyond impressive, and although I miss them greatly, I now get to watch them move on to even bigger successes!!!

Ten years. Hundreds of collaborations. Many (many) hours of intense meetings. Thousands of experiments repeated. Countless friendships made. A scientific legacy just beginning to be realized. Congrats team on a job well done! @ibbgatech @GTSciences @GT_CHEM @NSF @NASAAstrobio

No catalyst? No problem. A new study finds chemical reactions involved in early metabolism on Earth may not have required enzymes to work. With critical contributions from early career astrobiologists, the paper was published in the journal @nature. More: go.nasa.gov/2UxFZUb

A new study published today in @NatureChemistry shows that nearly all the ingredients for a potential forerunner to cellular metabolism could have formed easily from just two simple compounds reacting in water. quantamagazine.org/new-clues…

How did biology select the 20 #aminoacids used in extant biology? We have some clues in our recent publication in @PNASNews this week! #origins @NSF_MPS #NSFFunded @scrippsresearch @GT_CHEM @GT_Sciences @ibbgatech

Don't miss the second CCE featured #earlyEarth commentary by Director Hud as a part of the @NatureComms series. The premise of a pre-RNA world opens a whole new universe in #OoL chemistry. @nsf_mps #nsffunded @ibbgatech @GT_Sciences @GT_CHEM disq.us/t/39fb1ci

This week on Nature League, @BritGarner introduces a new segment called De-Natured, where she breaks down a recent scientific journal article. The topic? Metabolism of early life!
