Members of the Prebiotic Chemistry and Early Earth Environments (PCE3) Consortium are striving to transform the origins of life community by breaking down language and ideological barriers, and enhancing communication across the disciplinary divide between early earth geoscientists and prebiotic chemists. The objective is to provide a network of communication and intellectual cooperation that fosters innovation across the community and gives rise to novel research avenues and encourages out-of-the-box thinking.PCE3
The NASA Astrobiology Program invites you to join the first Community Workshop of its Research Coordination Network: Prebiotic Chemistry and Early Earth Environments (PCE3). This workshop is designed to cross-pollinate between different areas of research addressing origins of life, including early earth geoscience and prebiotic chemistry. It will foster intellectual cooperation and innovation across the astrobiology community and give rise to novel research avenues.

Workshop speakers have been asked to give a state-of-the-art talk in their respective sub-theme to other fields of the Origins of Life community. These talks will be accessible to a non-specialist and aim to highlight the points of agreement, the important remaining debates, uncertainties, and essential next steps.
The workshop will consist of five topics, covered over five weeks throughout October and November. Primer talks are posted on Monday to watch on-demand throughout the week, culminating in a discussion meeting on each Friday. Topics include:
