Check out an up-close, podcast interview with Pascal Lee, co-founder and chairman of the Mars Institute, director of the NASA Haughton-Mars Project at NASA Ames Research Center, and senior planetary scientist at the SETI Institute.
This summer marks Lee’s twentieth summer field trip on Devon Island, the largest uninhabited earth with geological evidence similar to what Lee suspects would be found on Mars.
Extending human capabilities
This STEM-Talk discussion is offered by the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC), a group that pioneers technologies aimed at leveraging and extending human capabilities.

Lee is also noted for his Mars research in the upcoming National Geographic book – Mars: Our Future on the Red Planet — to be released October 25th.
