From Earth to Space
I research space policy and astrobiology. In addition to scientific dissemination work, I also get involved in initiatives to raise awareness and defend the Amazon. I participate in conferences and debates on the balance between space exploration and environmental preservation, seeking sustainable and responsible solutions.
NASA Astrobiology Creative Science Writing
The article by Flora Dutra, a researcher at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, was placed first in a contest by the American Aerospace Agency (National Aeronautics and Space Administration – NASA). Research addressing the impacts of space missions on humanity was featured at #AbSciCon22, an Astrobiology conference organized by Advancing Earth and Space Science and recognized by NASA. Flora Dutra was the only Brazilian, this year, to be awarded at the Nasa Astrobiology congress, an arm of the American Space Agency that deals with the search for life in the universe. The award took place through the article Astrobiological Humanities Group for Interplanetary Protection and Defense Policies.
Astrobiological Humanities Group for Interplanetary Protection and Defense Policies
To start the discussion on the role of space researchers and their responsibilities with the Planetary Protection and Defense Policies, we must cover other celestial bodies, which is why they must be thought within an interplanetary context in the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032.
I was in need of a content writing service for my website and I found Flora Dutra. From the moment I contacted them, I was impressed with their level of professionalism and attention to detail. They worked diligently and quickly to understand my vision and create content that surpassed my expectations. Highly recommended!
I believe in an organic network of interplanetary collective intelligence that manifests itself in our forests revealing true portals on Earth that maintain life and communication with the cosmos.
