Excited to see our work now live!
In this study on the role of CODH-utilising microbes in volcanic astrobiological analogues.
Huge thanks to Marcela Hernández and all collaborators!
Happy to hear thoughts!

Archaea sometimes feels like life’s insurance policy against planetary sterilization.
Low pH. High pH. Freezing. Boiling. Hypersalinity. Radiation.
How many apocalypses could archaea survive?
What would a world repopulated from extremophiles look like?

Water bear (Tardigrade) facts: 1. Water dwelling, eight-legged micro-animals 2. Their size is about 0.5 mm (0.02") 3. They can be found literally anywhere 4. Withstand temps from 1K to 420 K (-272°C to 150°C) 5. Withstand pressures from vacuum to bottom of oceans 6. Can live without food & water for 30+ years 7. Withstand 5000Gray of radiation (humans die at 5Gray) 8. Withstand environmental toxins 9. Born with all cells, cells don't divide, they just expand 10. Have existed for 530 million years.

New preprint! We propose "anergiobiosis" to describe microbial life at thermodynamic limits as a way of separating the physiological state from questions about aeonophilic extremophile specialization. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Big news! I'll be co-chairing a session and presenting a poster at the @norwichmicro.bsky.social Annual Conference this March.
Deadline for abstract submission coming up soon.

🦠 Life can flourish in Earth’s most hostile corners. What does that resilience suggest about where life could persist beyond Earth? ✍️ Full exploration: tpc8.short.gy/mgHJjLGk
Perhaps the cosmos holds more tenacious possibilities than we expect.

Sometimes life finds a way… like this newly discovered “fire amoeba,” thriving at 145 °F deep in the hot springs of Lassen Volcanic National Park 🌋 Even in the harshest places, life endures. That kind of resilience gives us hope. ✨ #OceanHoptimism #NatureFindsAWay #Extremophiles #Resilience

Inside Mexico's Naica caves: giant crystals, extremophile microbes once labeled 'alien' then reframed by NASA-linked researchers — and how magnetism, atomic-era tests and regional folklore feed UAP, crash-recovery and biosafety debates. #NaicaCaves #Extremophiles #UAP
We’ve been looking at the microbes in concrete and how they change over time. As it ages (over decades), we see more microbes in the category of #extremophiles! Most are halophiles, but we see some alkaliphiles as well. Where do those come from?

Bacteria in hot springs can move against fast water flow without flagella. Instead, they use pili like grappling hooks to crawl upstream, revealing a surprising survival strategy in extreme environments.

Tube worms are among the strangest of vent animals. Like science fiction creatures, they have no eyes, no mouth, and no gut. The red plume at the tip of their bodies is filled with blood.
