Next up is Myrine Barreiro-Arevalo, a 3rd year PhD candidate in Mathematics and Statistics with Interdisciplinary Applications. She did her Bachelors in Biology and Masters in Applied Statistics at UTRGV. This summer, she was at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) in Japan.

Celebrating the start of the semester with (most of) the AstroBioChemistry Lab Mexican food here hits different ☺️ @UTRGV #astrobiology

The next member to be introduced is Dulce Castillo, a 2nd year undergraduate. She graduated from Valley View High School and currently pursuing a degree in Chemistry with a minor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Today is the last day to apply for the Spring 2025 Design Challenge!

🚀🌊 Excited to share that Ilankuzhali Elavarasan (Ilankuzhali Elavarasan) from the Astrobiochemistry Lab completed a 26-day Mars Ocean Analog mission! Sailing NYC to St. Thomas on the historic Schooner Anne, this tested resilience in extreme conditions—just like a Mars mission!

Very proud to work surrounded by amazing women in science in the lab (below) and with my colleagues at UTRGV SIBCS and the wider UTRGV ✌️ #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience ♀️🏳️‍⚧️🔬

Such an amazing mission 🙌 Congrats!

Because space science, technology, and medicine are essential and worth funding ☄️🚀🧪 Humbled and proud to serve at NASA Texas Space Grant to support space activities across #Texas South Texas Space Science Institute #astrobiology Vs up ✌️ UTRGV

Loads of space sciences going on at @UTRGV! Check out my interview: lnkd.in/dSHfZ3eb For this NASA grant, we are working on simulating the icy surface at Jupiter's moon Europa, which will yield a chemical map to aid deciphering Europa Clipper's data. South Texas Space Science Institute

Super excited to receive a U.S. National Science Foundation BRC-BIO grant focusing on connecting amphiphile prebiotic chemistry to the origin of Darwinian evolution! Check out the short video UTRGV SIBCS prepared 🤓🧪 Stay tuned if looking for a postdoc! nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh… instagram.com/reel/DHGmpESNz…

Deepali Singh did a great job presenting her Mars habitability work at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC). Deepali joined Tian Y. Dong, PhD's and the AstroBioChemistry Lab as a postdoc this January. We can't wait to unveil what we're working on 👩‍🔬 #LPSC2025 #NewishPI @UTRGV

🚀 Exciting news! Huge congratulations to our PI, @eloi_CC, for being recognized by the UTRGV Office of Faculty Affairs for his outstanding contributions to space science research! 🌌🎉

Had a great time today giving a research talk at the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS) in Strasbourg. Thank you very much for hosting Yannick Geiger | @yannickgeiger.bsky.social! And tomorrow, working with @ESA on planetary protection 💪🌍 #astrobiology South Texas Space Science Institute @UTRGV

Worlds are being iced 🧊😬 #astrobiology South Texas Space Science Institute

What a great NASA workshop at Carnegie Science on the abiotic background for life detection beyond Earth! This community is awesome and the future, brilliant 🚀 #astrobiology @UTRGV

Shining bright this past Saturday, PhD candidate Myrine Barreiro-Arevalo shared her preliminary work at the 9th Annual Coastal Bend Conference Texas A&M University in Laredo, TX! 🌟 Showcasing protocol modeling, she continues to lead the ABC Lab in astrobiology and mathematics. 🚀 #WomenInSTEM

I attended NASA Texas Space Grant Design Challenge Showcase last week. Was encouraging to learn from/mentor a new generation of explorers! We also celebrated Board of Directors and Affiliate meetings. The space sciences in Texas are thriving! 🚀🪐 #astrobiology South Texas Space Science Institute

A fantastic 2 weeks working with Hiroaki Suzuki from Chuo Uni. and matsuura_tomoaki from Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) 地球生命研究所. Much more collabing to come thanks to a JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振） fellowship awarded to my PhD student Myrine Barreiro! 🥳 Huge thanks to NanobiomodelingLab for sponsoring my visit! 🇯🇵 @UTRGV

Very proud of Myrine Barreiro-Arevalo who's joining matsuura_tomoaki at Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) 地球生命研究所 this fall for a 6-month JSPS 独立行政法人日本学術振興会（学振） fellowship. Myrine's PhD research deals with the origins of Darwinian evolution in protocell systems. Go Myrine! ✌️ @UTRGV South Texas Space Science Institute #astrobiology
