I’d like to take a moment to share Making Earth-Like Planets, a lecture presented by Dr. Linda (Lindy) Elkins-Tanton, managing director and co-chair of the Arizona State University Interplanetary Initiative. I first learned about Dr. Elkins-Tanton’s work when listening to this episode of the University of Oxford Earth Science Podcast:

I’ve since discovered there’s also a video of Dr. Elkins-Tanton presenting this lecture on another occasion, which is a bonus because you can listen to her talk as well as see the slides:

So have a listen or a watch if you’re interested in the topic—and enjoy learning about the making of Earth-like planets!
