Off to join its brother and sister apps that could not

This should be an interesting conference, I hope for fossils.
But I hope it's not a rehash of the recent Cassini oxygen finding on Rhea:

I always knew that California was a different planet.

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.

Similar microbes have been in use since the late 90's to extract gold. These suckers can handle cyanide.

Unless microbes like these were found on an extraterrestrial body...

I love her answer to the big question: “I don’t know how there could not be extraterrestrial life”

Instead of phosphorous in the bacterias DNA, it contains arsenic in its place.

Makes sense, As is in the same column as P in the periodic table. Suitable substitution.

To some extent it's true. Elements in columns share the same affinity for bonding, but each element gets larger as you go down the column, making the physical fit of larger elements into some molecular structures difficult.

Hehehe.
Mouseover:
According to a new paper published in the journal Science, reporters are unable to thrive in an arsenic-rich environment.
