Expert that I admire

There have been many scientists who have caught my attention, for distinct reason as your research, your life, etc. However, the scientist that I find most interesting, in term of his research is Andrew Schuerger, who is a researcher at the astrobiology Institute from NASA.

In short, he started his university studies in 1979, during these years he concentrated on studying microbiology and pathogenic plants. In 2000, he entered his investigation in the NASA that observed the survival, growth in the replication of microorganism.

The study that is focused on those years, and the work that has fascinated me most is, the research that explores the survival capacity of a psychrophilic microorganism, on the surface of Mars using simulated environmental variables including ultraviolet irradiation, desiccation, temperature, atmospheric pressure and dust composition.

I find that his studies on bacteria is incredible, because it gives very important functions to the microorganism that are normally taken as organism that harm humans and this is not always the case, as they make very important processes for the environment and its surrounding.
