Why Is Sandra Pizzarello Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Sandra Pizzarello, D.Bi.Sc. was a Venetian biochemist known for her co-discovery of amino acid enantiomeric excess in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. Her research interests concerned the characterization of meteoritic organic compounds in elucidating the evolution of planetary homochirality. Pizzarello was a project collaborator and co-investigator for the NASA Astrobiology Institute , the president of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life , and an emerita professor at Arizona State University .
