In our second season of Bison Jam, we are focusing on the “hot side” of Yellowstone. In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Dana Skorupa, Assistant Research Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Montana State University. Dr. Skorupa explains what bioprospecting is and how Yellowstone's thermophiles could help human society! She also shares stories from her time conducting thermophilic research in Yellowstone's backcountry. We hope you enjoy the podcast, and we thank you for listening!
