DESCRIPTION:In person.\n\nFrom Skyla: "Prebiotic chemistry involves the st
 udy of complex systems described by chemical reactions. These reactions fo
 rm large networks which can help us to visualize scenarios in which the fi
 rst building blocks of life may have come together. In particular\, the ca
 rboxysulfitic scenario presents an interesting narrative pertaining to the
  generation of Kreb's Cycle intermediates\, alluding to the development of
  a central carbon metabolism. The aim of this discussion is to talk throug
 h this network and outline the work being done to place constraints on the
  geochemical scenario in which this chemistry is proposed to have occurred
 . In addition to this\, I want to discuss the importance of exploring the 
 kinetics of these systems\, with the hope of spurring on discussions surro
 unding a new framework for writing papers related to the origin of life."
