Encantada de hablar con Angel Rodríguez Lozano @cienciaes de nuestros descubrimientos en en centro de la Via Lactea. @C_Astrobiologia

1/📣¡Es el día! Ya está todo listo para la ceremonia de entrega de #Becas de investigación 2025 de la @FundlaCaixa. Hoy celebramos el talento que abre puertas y oportunidades y nos acerca a un nuevo mundo por descubrir. 🌍 🔴Sigue este hilo para conocer los momentos más destacados: 👇

SEMINARIO DEL COMITE DE IGUALDAD DEL CAB: MIZURA: El aporte de la ciencia diversa a las tecnologías geoespaciales. Dabiz Riaño', RaúI Aguirre y José Aguirre 'Speclab, CCHS Mari Morado, CSIC.

A new study has provided compelling evidence that Earth, shortly after its formation, was initially dry and lifeless, lacking the essential building blocks for life, such as water and organic compounds. Using precise measurements of the radioactive decay of manganese-53 into chromium-53 in meteorites and terrestrial rocks, the researchers determined that Earth's basic chemical composition was established within roughly three million years after the Solar System formed. This finding supports the Giant Impact Hypothesis: Earth’s Moon formed when a Mars-sized body, dubbed Theia, collided with our planet about 4.5 billion years ago. Crucially, Theia appears to have originated farther out in the Solar System and carried volatile elements, including water and carbon-rich compounds, that Earth lacked at the time. Therefore, it seems that Earth’s habitability, and ultimately the emergence of life, was not a straightforward outcome of gradual development but rather hinged on this dramatic, chance impact. 👉 share.google/bDCYVHS7LmMCT8…

🚀 Discovery of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the interstellar medium: Is it a good biosignature? New press release from @C_Astrobiologia @CSIC with insights from @ryvendel 🔗 cab.inta-csic.es/en/news/dms-ca…

I am very excited to announce that I have been selected as a Junior Leader #Fellow of the #laCaixaFoundation! 🎉 🌟🌌👩‍💻 My project MIRAME will study isotopic ratios across multi-scale environments in the interstellar medium! #Beques #FundaciólaCaixa #Becas #FundaciónlaCaixa

@EsterLzaro1 @villavrr @CosmoCaixa Enhorabuena!!

Hoy he tenido la gran satisfacción de asistir a la inauguración de la expo "Extraterrestres. ¿Hay vida fuera de la Tierra?", en la que he participado como asesora científica, junto con M. Villar, B. Montesinos y @villavrr. ¡Gracias a @CosmoCaixa por hacer realidad este proyecto!

Ayer, dia 11 de Febrero de 2025, celebramos en el @C_Astrobiologia el dia de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia. Con tal motivo la Agencia EFE publicó efesalud.com/mujeres-cienci… con Ester Lazaro y Laura Colzi

Ha sido un placer ser entrevistada por EFE y hablar del rol de las las mujeres en la ciencia (y no solo). 👩‍💻👩‍🔬👩‍🚀🌌It was a pleasure to be interviewed by EFE to talk about the role of women in science (and not only). #WomenInScience #11febbraio #11FebreroESP

@brionesci Compartimos dia de cumpleaños :) Felicidades con retraso!

Buenos días! Hoy comienzo una nueva órbita alrededor del Sol 🎂🥂 Os quiero dar las gracias a todos los que me acompañáis en este viaje… y a los más de 36.000 seguidores que me leéis por aquí 😊

🚨NEW RESULT!🚨 Check out our new paper: Colzi et al. (2024), A&A in press, arXiv:2408.17141 @L_Colzi @MiguelSanzNovo @ryvendel We have found for the first time the presence of a candidate prestellar cluster towards G+0.693-0.027 in the Galactic centre! arxiv.org/pdf/2408.17141

En mi grupo estamos buscando un candidato/a para realizar el doctorado con un contrato FPI asociado al proyecto "Explorando los límites entre la extinción y la adaptación en replicadores experimentales". Los interesados no dudéis en escribirme (lazarole@cab.inta-csic.es)

Second Announcement (Abstract submission deadline approaching 30th June) - Fractionation of isotopes in space II: from the Solar System to galaxies

I am pleased to announce the second edition of the conference "Fractionation of isotopes in space II: from the Solar System to galaxies" that will be held on November 4-7 2024 in Florence, Italy. Submit an abstract now: sites.google.com/view/fractiona…

NEXT EAI SEMINAR "The Pathway to Prebiotic Chemistry: molecular precursors from space" Víctor M. Rivilla Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC-INTA), Madrid, Spain Tuesday, 7th May 16:00 CEST (UTC + 02:00) Trailer: youtu.be/cApjjZXkx18 Zoom: us06web.zoom.us/j/6631204351

🚨NEW RESULT!🚨 In a recent work led by @DavidSAstro99 we have detected for the first time in space the molecule H2CNCN (N-cyanomethanimine), the stable dimer of HCN of highest energy, and the most complex interstellar molecule containing the prebiotically relevant NCN backbone.

In a new work led by @Alvaro10lopez we have compared the chemical composition of the massive stellar protocluster G31.41+0.31 with those of a Solar-like protostar and two comets. There are interesting similarities, and no less interesting differences! @C_Astrobiologia
