Delighted to be a panelist at the Soroptimist Surrey/Delta/White Rock Dream It, Be It conference. My take home messages: bring your creativity, learn to listen more in a world that is often so loud, practice critical thinking and show up as your authentic self to Dream It and Be It.

Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA nucleobases, according to two papers in Nature Astronomy and Nature. go.nature.com/40SlwfF go.nature.com/3CC6ZLO 🔭 🧪

This figure illustrates molecules and minerals discovered in samples of near-Earth asteroid Bennu, which were delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission in September 2023. The upper left panel depicts precursor molecules like ammonia and formaldehyde, while the upper right depicts salts and clays. These early ingredients mixed with water inside the parent body to undergo chemical reactions and synthesize organic molecules, shown at bottom. The lower right panel depicts nucleobases, the genetic components of DNA and RNA, while the lower left depicts amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The Bennu samples contain all five of the nucleobases that are found in DNA and RNA, and 14 of the 20 amino acids that life uses to build proteins. Credit: NASA
