Allison Baczynski, assistant research professor of geosciences at Penn State, (left) led the study alongside Ophélie McIntosh, postdoctoral researcher in Penn State’s Department of Geosciences. They used specialized equipment to study the sample and detect glycine, the simplest amino acid, a tiny two‑carbon molecule that serves as one of life’s basic building blocks.
