Exploring Life Without Water
Visit the Water and Life Interface Institute booth to discover how life survives without water! Sample astronaut ice cream, explore resurrection plants, and see water bears under a microscope. Make your own seed necklace and chat with researchers about why scientists study plants, animals, and fungi that can withstand extreme dehydration—and how you can join the “Tardigrade Hunting” project. (Nondairy astronaut treats available.)
