Our guests are Drs. Lauren Seyler & Armando Azua-Bustos, two astrobiologists who are coming to us live from the Falkor Too, an ocean research vessel currently traveling the coast of Chile in search of living fossils along the seafloor. This very special episode of Ask an Astrobiologist will dive into their incredible research, its connection to ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus, climate change science, and a live tour of the research ship itself, including the ROV hangar, mission control, lab spaces, and the bridge. If you're interested in ocean exploration, ocean worlds in our solar system, and what it's like living and working on a research vessel, then you do not want to miss this episode! What is Ask An Astrobiologist?
