Lynn Rothschild—Fascination with Microbes

“When life arose we didn’t have an ozone layer and so life had to deal with a much higher level of ultra-violet radiation than it does today.”
Astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, Rothschild specializes in using molecular techniques and field work to study the interactions of organisms, known as extremophiles that have adapted to survive the harshest environments on earth.
