Life on Mars: Does it exist, what might it look like, and can we bring it home?

Join us for a night of PubScience! Dr. Rachel Mackelprang, professor at CSU Northridge, will speak about her work with the Mars Sample Return program.

In the next decade, NASA will send a rover to Mars that will return home with samples from the planet's surface. What clues will those samples give us about the biological history of Mars? Will they contain life? And what can we study here on Earth to learn about what life on Mars might look like?
