🌍1st PROTOS publication demonstrates how protocells & prebiotic compounds could have formed together under early Earth conditions. 🧪In presence of SiO2, insoluble organics self-assemble into biomorphic vesicles turning oceans into a global chemistry lab. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🧑‍🏫 PROTOS PhD Student - Maxence H. Le Picard (Poster #342) 📖 “Si‑isotope systematics of >3.4 Ga Apex & Strelley Pool Cherts: δ³⁰Si constraints on Paleoarchean seawater” conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

🧑‍🏫 PROTOS Postdoc Researcher - Dr. Inna Kurganskaya (Poster #336) 📖 “Stochastic Cellular Automata models simulating Early Earth prebiotic self‑organization reactions” conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

🔬 PROTOS @ERC_Research at @goldschmidt2025 ! 🌍 Subsession: 07h‑P1 – Global geochemical pathways to the origin and survival of life on Earth-like worlds 🧑‍🏫 Poster Presentations 📍 Hall 3A, 3rd Floor (17:30–19:30 GMT+2) #Goldschmidt2025 #PROTOS #Geochemistry #OriginsOfLife

🔬 Gain insights into how prebiotic compounds and protocell-like structures could have co-emerged in early Earth and what this means for detecting life on other worlds. #Goldschmidt2025 #PROTOS #OriginsOfLife #Astrobiology #PrebioticChemistry

🧑‍🏫 Dr. Christian Jenewein takes the stage for PROTOS third presentation at @goldschmidt2025 ! 📖 Title: “Concomitant formation of protocells and prebiotic compounds in the primordial soup” 🕒 15:00 GMT+2 📍 Club A, 1st Floor, Prague Congress Centre conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

🌋 Discover how silica-driven reactions may have sparked prebiotic synthesis and biomorphic protocell formation on early Earth—and possibly on other worlds. #Goldschmidt2025 #Geochemistry #PROTOS #OriginOfLife #SilicaCatalysis #Astrobiology #Protoworlds

🧑‍🏫 Our second intervention at @goldschmidt2025 is a keynote talk by PROTOS corresponding PI Prof. Juan Manuel Garcia-Ruiz: 📖 “The role of silica in the setting of Hadean protoworlds” 🕝 14:30 GMT+2 📍 Club A, 1st Floor, Prague Congress Centre

🕤 9:30 GMT+2 📍 Club A, 1st Floor, Prague Congress Centre 🌍 Discover how iron-calcite reactions shaped the early Earth atmosphere. #Goldschmidt2025 #Geochemistry #PROTOS #EarlyEarth #HydrothermalSystems

🔬Opening Presentation by PROTOS @ERC_Research at @goldschmidt2025 Our conference contributions start with a talk by Dr. Smruti S. Rout: 📖“Interaction of calcite with iron-rich hydrothermal solution leads to anoxic oxidation of iron: implications for early Earth atmosphere”

🌍 PROTOS is present at @goldschmidt2025 ! On July 8, our researchers present new insights into how life may have emerged from Earth’s early geochemical environment. 🔬 Talks on Hadean oceans, protocells, silica catalysis & more! #Goldschmidt2025 #OriginsOfLife #Geochemistry

⚗️ We will recreate Hadean environments in the lab to comprehend silica's crucial role in guiding the geochemical and protobiological processes, creating habitats for early life and preserving first microorganisms on Earth’s surface. 📲Follow us: protos-erc.eu

🌋 The first 600 million years of Earth’s history —the Hadean— remain a mystery, as no rock record of that time exists. 🔬 The @ERC_Research Synergy project “The role of silica in the dawn of life on our planet (PROTOS)” has been launched to reveal this. cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101…
