Hi, I'm Dr. Vikki Meadows, and I'm a scientist at the California Institute of Technology.

I'm the lead scientist for the Virtual Planetary Laboratory, a group of researchers who use computer models to understand what other planets might look like from space. This will help NASA to build big telescopes to search for life on planets outside our solar system. I also use the Spitzer Space Telescope to study planets in our own solar system.
