Deep Sea Microbiology (UNSEEN OCEAN CRITTERS) with Peter Girguis

Hello. If you are hearing this before September eighth, twenty twenty six, and you live anywhere near Atlanta, Georgia. just a heads up, I'm doing a free talk that's open to the public at Franklin College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Georgia, alongside wonderful meteorology guest, Doctor Marshall Shepherd. And again it's September eighth. Three to four PM at the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences. That's actually in Athens, Georgia. It's at their special collections library.

September eighth, okay, I'll see you there. Oh hey, it's the flyer. Tucked under your windshield, flapping on the highway. Ali Ward. This one is another Long time coming episode. I was tipped off about this allologist by my dear friend and squid expert, Dr. Sarah McInalty. Of Skype Scientist who sang this fellow marine scientist praises. And as soon as I heard Critters of the Deep, I was in.

But wait, micro critters? Is that a thing? Oh I have no idea. But they do. So they got their bachelor's of science at UCLA, a PhD from UC Santa Barbara, and did a postdoc at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Legit. They switched coasts a few decades ago, and they are a professor of organismic and evolutionary biology at Harvard University, while also being an adjunct scientist at Woods Hall. And at Harvard, they teach courses like deep sea biology and microbial sciences, and also sea monsters, mythology, fiction, film, and fact. Absolute humdinger of a guest here. They research what is living and thriving in the places that are hardest to reach.
