Kennda Lian Lynch is an American astrobiologist, a person who studies life on other planets.[1][2] She studies extremophiles.[2][1] She works with with NASA.[3] She finds places on Earth that are like places on other planets. She looks at life on Earth and predicts what life would look like on other planets.[4] Lynch also looks at fossils that show us extinct life. She wants to identify what life might look like on other planets.[4][5] Much of Lynch's research has been in the Pilot Valley Basin in the Great Salt Desert of northwestern Utah, U.S.[6] In ancient times that area had a lake. Mars has a similar ancient lake called Jezero Crater.[7] Because of Lynch's research in the Pilot Valley Basin, NASA decided to land the Perseverance Rover mission at Jezero Crater.[7] Jim Greene, Chief Scientist at NASA, called Lynch "a perfect expert to be involved in the Perseverance rover."[8] She is also helping to chose a landing site for NASA's first mission to Mars that will have people on it. That mission is scheduled for in 2035.[9] Lynch has appeared in two television series. She also appeared in The New York Times,[7] Nature,[10] Scientific American,[11] and Popular Science.[6] Science magazine Cell Press called Lynch one of the most inspiring Black scientists in the United States.[12]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
