Lucy Stewart has always wanted to know if there is any form of life on other planets... unfortunately there's no way she can get to Jupiter's moon Europa to see if there is bacterial life under the ice, but she can study the organisms that survive in the earth's most extreme environments.
She is a post doctoral researcher in Geomicrobiology at GNS, and lately has been focussing on thermafiles - that is hte organisms that grow in very hot places, such as volcanic vents.
She talks to Jesse about life in extreme places, and poses some questions for the audience.
