Saturday with a Scientist: Geomicrobiology

Saturday with a Scientist is a regular program that connects you to University of Minnesota scientists along with special hands-on interactive experiences. All activities are free with gallery admission, including a visit to our special exhibit Weather to Climate. 

Our April event will explore the ways tiny microbes have a big influence on the planet. Meet U of M research students in a geomicrobiology class with Dr. Cara Santelli and Dr. Jake Bailey in the Department of Earth Sciences.

Come and check out student-created activities related to:

• Banded iron formations
• Bioremediation of nitrates from agriculture
• Algae in lakes
• Bioremediation of metals
• Magnetotactic bacteria
• Early life and evolution of life
