Welcome back to part 2 of our thermophiles in Yellowstone conversation! If you haven’t tuned in to part 1 first, I recommend pausing this episode and hopping into the previous one to learn the basics about the terrific thermophiles. I’m excited to continue our conversation with Dr. Eric Boyd and dive deeper into the world of thermophiles. Did you know that a thermophile species discovered in Yellowstone has been used in important scientific discoveries related to crime scene investigation? If you’re an avid true crime podcast listener, you’ll definitely want to stick around to learn about that discovery and application. We’ll also cover how thermophiles played a role during the Covid-19 pandemic, what could still be waiting to be discovered in Yellowstone’s thermal features, and get into some great listener questions submitted by our podcast insiders. Alright, let’s continue this burning conversation about thermophiles.The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is the land of 49+ Indigenous Tribes who maintain current and ancestral connections to the lands, waters, wildlife, plants, and more.Voices of Greater Yellowstone was created by the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation nonprofit dedicated to working with people to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, now and for future generations.> Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get podcasts.> Become a Podcast Insider and Receive Two FREE Stickers> Donate to the Greater Yellowstone Coalition> Dr. Eric Boyd's Lab> Yellowstone Summit Presentation: Life in Geysers> Dr. Boyd on PBS NaturePodcast Artwork > Rachel Dunlap ArtMusic > Redwood Trail by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)Send us a note!Support the show
