Lynn Rothschild
Lynn is an astrobiologist who founded the synthetic biology program for NASA. She is a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, the California Academy of Sciences and the Explorers Club, and is the 2015 winner of the Isaac Asimov Award.
Space exploration is limited by the cost of launching materials off earth. Biology could solve this problem making possible the dream of producing bespoke tools, food, smart fabrics and even replacement organs on demand on earth or beyond!
