ELSI Voices: Exploring how planets become habitable

The Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) is a vibrant international research hub exploring the origin and evolution of life and planetary systems. While its scientific output is widely recognised, the personal stories, motivations, and team dynamics behind this research are often unseen. “ELSI Voices” is a storytelling initiative designed to change that. Through interviews and profile articles, the project will introduce each ELSI professor in a way that is accessible to the public, inspiring to students, and informative for collaborators. These features will showcase not only the science but also the culture, philosophy, and people who make ELSI unique.

Abstract

The Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) is a vibrant international research hub exploring the origin and evolution of life and planetary systems. While its scientific output is widely recognised, the personal stories, motivations, and team dynamics behind this research are often unseen. “ELSI Voices” is a storytelling initiative designed to change that. Through interviews and profile articles, the project will introduce each ELSI professor in a way that is accessible to the public, inspiring to students, and informative for collaborators. These features will showcase not only the science but also the culture, philosophy, and people who make ELSI unique.
