What will the story of Earth be? Will we tell stories of sharing life with other planets or will Earth’s stories end with humanity’s failures? Microbiologist Gary King is searching for answers to those questions. In his out-of-this-world talk, learn about the possibilities of using microbes as tiny transporters of provisions for astronauts and what the discovery of life outside of our planet could mean for us.
With every new scientific discovery the wonders of this world — and beyond — continue to add more questions to our quest for knowledge. Dr. Gary King, a professor of biological sciences at Louisiana State University, explores these questions. His work on volcanic systems’ effects on microbial organisms and bacteria’s impact on gases in the atmosphere, among other things, has led him to studies across the globe. His passion for research not only includes learning how microbes affect the Earth, but how they might have survived on Mars in the past or could even change the red planet’s future. We will never know everything, but Gary’s work shows that creative exploration is the greatest aid to discovery — not only for our home, but also for the entire universe in which we live.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
