I always love catching these live! Ask An Astrobiologist is a great series if you're interested in or curious about astrobiology - tune in tomorrow @ 1pm MT for "The Colorful World of Microbes & Exoplanets" which sounds fascinating!

We're so excited that Dr. Lígia Fonseca Coelho will be joining for Ask an Astrobiologist live today. She was previously interviewed by Aubrey Zerkle for the Astrobiology Revealed series on SAGANet! saganet.org/articles/astro…

In Astrobiology Revealed Issue 21, Aubrey Zerkle interviewed Shuya Tan "on why microbes might be metal-starved in Enceladus’ ocean" saganet.org/articles/astro…
