Hi, I'm Simone

I'm an Amherst College physics major passionate about understanding the most fundamental laws of the universe and how we define the existence of life within it. Can space and time be derived from a more basic entity? What triggered the transition from abiotic to biotic compounds? Is the existence of life inevitable or highly contingent? Are we alone in the universe? For the first time, we can ask these questions through a scientific lens: astrobiology. My goal is to learn as much as I can to explore these questions and the implications they pose for all of humanity.
