Pamela Conrad is an astrobiologist and planetary scientist specializing in understanding how planets do or do not evolve into habitable environments. She is presently involved in the exploration of Mars with the Perseverance Rover and its companion, the Ingenuity helicopter as a research scientist at The Earth and Planets Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Science in Washington, DC. Her ‘primary’ job is as an Episcopal priest and pastor of St. Alban’s Parish in Glen Burnie, MD. As both an Episcopal priest and a scientist, one of her priorities is to help people feel confident to engage both their critical thinking and their faith in all aspects of life, using what we can learn from observing nature as an approach to understanding the systems nature of all that is.
