How did life arise on earth? ☄️ 🌱 #allsciencenofiction #PacificNorthwestScience

Researchers at the University of Washington have found a spot in the Pacific Northwest that has the right conditions to spontaneously create organic compounds.

It’s called Last Chance Lake, and it’s a few hundred miles north of Seattle.

Last Chance is a shallow soda lake that has really high concentrations of Phosphorus - which is necessary to create things like DNA.

That means lakes like this could be where Earth saw the first sparks of life.
