Earth Environmental Science, New Mexico Tech and Associate Director, Academics, National Cave and Karst Research Institute, Carlsbad, NM Tuesday, June 25 • 7:00–8:30 pm Dr. Penelope Boston studies extreme microbial lifeforms who live in environments that share features with the microorganisms that are breaking down the hulls of the Titanic. But more personally, Dr. Boston’s grandfather, William John Boston, served aboard Titanic as a crew member on her maiden voyage in 1912—profoundly affecting her family and perhaps leading to Dr. Boston’s own unusual career. Hear about the time in which the Titanic sinking occurred, its aftermath, and the emerging science as we watch the Titanic break down in the extreme environment of the cold, deep, mid-Atlantic. Dr. Penny Boston travels to some of the most exotic and dangerous extreme environments on Earth, including many caves in New Mexico. Her areas of research include cave geomicrobiology, microbial life in other highly mineralized or extreme environments, unique or characteristic biominerals, and biosignature detection. She is also deeply involved in astrobiology, the search for life beyond Earth, and cave formation mechanisms on other planetary bodies. She heads the Cave and Karst Studies Program, in conjunction with the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (NCKRI) of which she is the Associate Director (Academics). NMT is the major academic partner associated with this national institute. Lectures are held at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History Science 1801 Mountain Rd. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87104 • (505) 841-2800 Visit: www.nmnaturalhistory.org $6 ($5 members, $4 students) Volunteers are FREE…sign up on the sheet in the volunteer lounge to assure your seat.
