Extreme Microbes Are Eating The Titanic

Join Joe Hanson as he explores curiosity and illuminates the science behind… well, everything.

Extreme Microbes Are Eating The Titanic

Season 6 Episode 2 | 5m 24s | CC

These survivors and adapters are not only teaching us about life on Earth, but expanding the possibilities of where life can exist elsewhere.
