    About The Series

    Microbes in Soils of Antarctica by Noah Fierer
    Dr. Noah Fierer will be talking about recent work looking at the microorganisms living in soils of Antarctica, one of the driest and coldest places on Earth. He will discuss how and why we went to Antarctica to study these microorganisms and what they can tell us about life on our planet and the potential for life on other planets.
