Marine Microbiologist: The Unseen Underwater World
Saturday, November 22
Grab your lab coat and microscope—it’s time to dive into the unseen underwater world of marine microbiology! While they may be tiny, microbes play a massive role in keeping our ocean ecosystems healthy. From deep-sea chemosynthesis to coastal bacteria blooms, you’ll explore the powerful processes that invisible with the naked eye these lifeforms make possible. Discover how pipettes and lab tools extract DNA from surprising sources and discover how bacteria colonize different parts of the ocean. Then put your microbial mastery to the test with a simulation where ocean microbes must find just the right conditions to grow. It’s a micro-sized adventure with mega-sized science!
