Maggie Turnbull, Astrobiologist

This week we turn to outer space and the possibility of life on other planets, as we welcome Maggie Turnbull, a world renowned astrobiologist whose published work includes research for NASA and the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Her database of potentially habitable star systems could be used as a target list for NASA’s upcoming Terrestrial Planet Finder mission. She is a native of Antigo who has recently moved back to her hometown, and plans to continue her research right here in North Central Wisconsin.
