In our second season of Bison Jam, we are focusing on the “hot side” of Yellowstone. In our final episode of this season, we are again talking with Dr. Dana Skorupa, Assistant Research Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Montana State University. Dr. Skorupa share stories of thermophile biotechnologies. Learn how thermophiles helped during the COVID-19 pandemic, how they help us solve crime, and how they might even help feed astronauts on their journey to Mars! We hope you enjoyed this season of Bison Jam, and we thank you for listening! Be sure to keep an eye out for season 3 coming in Summer 2026.
