Extremophiles: Life on the Edge
with Kalene Lilico, Build-A-Brain, passport to science
Life on Earth hasn't always evolved to be confined to comfortable environments. Some organisms thrive in literal acid, crushing pressures, and subzero ice. These “extremophiles” are expanding our understanding of what life needs to survive, challenging long-held assumptions about habitability. Familiarize yourself with the organisms taking the ice bucket challenge to the next level and uncover clues about the potential for evolved life beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Kay is a science communicator who spends her time sharing her curiosity of the natural world—from dinosaurs and bugs to whales, birds, and everything in between. As Director of Programs at Passport to Science, she helps connect communities with fun, accessible science experiences that inspire wonder and exploration. You can also find her working directly with students through Build-a -Brain, where her hands-on biology programs inspire learners to take science into their own hands.
