Event: Interview with Dr. Fuzhong Zhang of Washing University in St Louis



There's an event coming up this afternoon, 4pm UK time - an interview by Dr. Steve Burgess with Dr. Fuzhong Zhang on the role of cyanobacteria. Dr. Zhang's research is currently funded by NASA and it'll be cool to join them in the discussion on NASA research.

If you guys have watched the Martian, you probably know what this movie is one of the few which featured a botanist as a hero in a film. Dr. Zhang is researching on growing cyanobacteria in space. There are other research going around the world - including growing plants in soil from Mars, etc.

Your job will be to ask questions during the interview!

Just in case you wonder how does cyanobacteria looks like. Here's an image of it!
