NSF will be hosting two events on February 3, one at 2:00 pm EST aimed at middle and high school students and one at 7:00 pm EST for adults or anyone who cannot attend the earlier event.

Join researcher and educator Ariel Waldman as she dives into the soils of Antarctica, and tells stories about how Antarctica is interconnected with the rest of the Earth and can inform us about the search for life on other planets. Ariel has been working alongside PolarTREC teacher Bill Henske on the Dry Valleys Ecosystem Study.

The McMurdo Dry Valleys is a uniquely dynamic ecosystem, with microscopic animals living in the soils, helping researchers understand how animals adapt to harsh and changing environments.
