ASU professor collaborates on Curiosity project, publishes two papers in Science Journal
ASU professor Jack Farmer not only teaches astrobiology, but he is also involved with the NASA program to analyze the data sent back by the Curiosity Mars rover as part of a larger effort to search for signs of life beyond Earth. Last month, Farmer co-authored two papers published in the journal Science about the findings of a team of chemical and mineralogy scientists. The question of extraterrestrial life is one that is fundamental to humanity, Farmer said.
