 Join us for a panel called **"Life from chemistry: How did it happen?"** on the prebiotic chemistry path to protocells in the lab. The panel will feature three scientists, who will each deliver a 25-minute talk followed by five minutes for Q&A. After the inter-connected talks, Professor Dimitar Sasselov will moderate a 30-minute panel discussion. The event's three panelists are:

- **Professor [Karin Oberg](https://astronomy.fas.harvard.edu/people/karin-oberg)** (Astronomy): astrochemical advances in origins of life studies;
- **Professor [John Sutherland](https://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/group-leaders/n-to-s/john-sutherland/)** (Laboratory of Molecular Biology): advances in prebiotic chemistry;
- **Professor [Jack Szostak](https://molbio.mgh.harvard.edu/szostakweb/)** (Chemistry & Chemical Biology): advances in protocells in the lab.

 Sponsored by the Origins of Life Initiative.
