<b>Dr. Madhan Tirumalai</b> who will give us our first <b>astrobiology talk</b> explaining how “<b>Extremophiles Redefine the Limits of Life</b>”. Organisms like deep sea vent communities and geyser pool bacteria show us that life continually stretches our
commonly held boundaries. Perhaps the<b> sub-ice oceans of Europa or Enceladus</b>, or sub-surface on Mars will hold the answer to the great question of life beyond Earth.
