SPEAKER

Tessa Fisher is a PhD candidate, astrobiologist, SFF author, and advocate for LGBT visibility in the sciences. Her research is primarily focused on using network theory to hopefully develop better biosignatures and technosignatures for exoplanets, based on their atmospheric composition. This approach, versatile and resilient in the face of high uncertainty, also offers the possibility of a universal biosignature, independent of the biochemistry involved.
