'''Lynn Justine Rothschild''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FLS}} (born May 11, 1957) is an [[evolutionary biology|evolutionary biologist]] and [[astrobiologist]] at NASA's [[Ames Research Center]],<ref>[https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/to-survive-on-mars-byo-bacteria/ "To Survive on Mars, BYO Bacteria"] ''Science Friday''. Retrieved 2017-03-14.</ref><ref>[http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/directory/profile/845/lynn/ Lynn Rothschild.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110909083427/http://astrobiology.nasa.gov/directory/profile/845/lynn/ |date=2011-09-09 }} NASA 2011. Retrieved 14 September 2011.</ref> and was a consulting Professor at [[Stanford University]], where she taught [http://www.stanford.edu/group/astrobiology/cgi-bin/ Astrobiology and Space Exploration]. She is an [[adjunct professor]] at [[Brown University]]. At Ames, her research has focused on how life, particularly microbes, has evolved in the context of the physical environment, both on Earth and potentially beyond our planet's boundaries. Since 2007 she has studied the effect of [[UV radiation]] on DNA synthesis, carbon metabolism and mutation/DNA repair in the [[Great Rift Valley, Kenya|Rift Valley]] of Kenya and the Bolivian Andes, and also in high altitude experiments atop [[Mount Everest]], in balloon payloads with [[BioLaunch]]. She was the principal investigator of the first free-flyer synthetic biology payload which flew on the DLR [[EuCROPIS]] mission.
