Dr. Hannah Dawson has completed a dual-title PhD in Oceanography and Astrobiology at the University of Washington, researching how microbes survive in sea ice, one of Earth's most extreme environments. The SETI Institute highlighted her work, noting that studying microbial life in sea ice offers clues about how life might survive in similar icy environments elsewhere, connecting Earth's oceans to the search for extraterrestrial life.

Why now: Her interdisciplinary research links Earth's sea-ice microbes to astrobiology and the search for life on icy worlds
