Life Without Water
Visit the Water and Life Interface Institute booth to learn about how life survives without water! At our table, you will be able to sample astronaut ice cream, examine plants and their seeds, explore resurrection plants, and look at water bears under a microscope. You can also chat with researchers to learn how—and why—scientists are studying plants, animals, and fungi that can survive extreme dehydration and how you can join the “Tardigrade Hunting” project. (We will also have non-dairy astronaut foods available).
