See S&T research at the St. Louis Science Center

If you're going to be in the St. Louis area, you might want to stop by the St. Louis Science Center and check out an exhibit featuring the research of Dr. Francisca Oboh-Ikuenobe, Dr. Melanie Mormile and colleagues from Purdue and Central Michigan. The exhibit is located in the lower level of the science center, right next to the T. rex. The Missouri S&T researchers been conducting research on microbes, microfossils and salt crystals from acidic lakes in Australia. The exhibit at the science center documents how the research results may prove to be analogs for finding life on Mars. If you don't get a chance to see the exhibit soon, don't worry. It's supposed to be up for a while.
