Whispers from other worlds and primitive cells: the Leopoldina Annual Assembly examines the origin and beginning of life

Leopoldina
Meeting Announcement

The conditions that made life on Earth possible are widely recognized: a planet with water, carbon, and a protective atmosphere located at the perfect distance from the sun.
