The SETI Institute awarded Dr. Anastasia Yanchilina the first Frank Drake Postdoctoral Fellowship. Yanchilina will focus on distinguishing biosignatures from false positives across space and time. Her research combines experimental and analytical methods to refine biosignature detection techniques. She will conduct lab experiments to generate key mineral analogs and study Earth’s extreme environments.
