Indiana Princeton Tennessee Astrobiology Initiative (IPTAI)

Beginning in the Fall of 2004 I began working as a videographer & animator for a group of scientists who are funded to locate and investigate extreme forms of microbial life on Earth as possible analogues for life on Mars and other planetary bodies within our solar system. The scientists are focusing their attentions on deep-subsurface bacteria & archaea found in the deep gold mines located in South Africa & the Canadian Arctic.
