Planetary Science, Planetary Exploration, & Astrobiology
Louis Lerman's business ventures have all been informed by his scientific endeavors, especially the applications of his interdisciplinary scientific background that have a focus on 'self-organizing' systems (see bio). But pure science is also fun! And with the dual discoveries that water is much more prevalent elsewhere in the solar system and the extraordinary frequency of earth-like planets in other stellar systems, it is an especially exciting time in astrobiology.
So he continues work on his highly-publicized Bubble Hypothesis on the origin of life on terrestrial-type planetary bodies. It is now in some popular biology textbooks, and, more to the point, it is being applied to the search for life on Mars and elsewhere. He also continues to be active in and support STEM academics, such as his work with the Hertz Foundation.
