Question
Is there a way to enter into the field of Astrobiology without a PhD? I only have an MS in Biochemistry. If so, what is the best inlet to get involved with this fascinating area of research?
Astrobiology research is no different from any other science: it is usually a team effort involving PhDs, lab techs, students, administrators, and other support personnel. One approach for you is to contact groups that are engaged in astrobiology research. Or you might consider related activity, such as science writing or teaching. There is room for lots of different talents in advancing the field of astrobiology.
