Extremophiles at the NSF

The Special Report X-treme Microbes at the National Science Foundation presents a compact overview of radiation-eating and amazing survivors extremophiles. At first you think it's just a simplistic little program, but look further and be sure to "click" on everything available or you'll miss some great information.

Available for download are pdf's and a most interesting video. The related resources pages add other dimensions to the report in case you want to learn more. A text only version is available by clicking the button in the left lower corner.

Of course, you know how we independent learners are, never satisfied, can't have enough resources. So, guess what? I can't wait to see what else NSF has to offer.
