Fun Fact!
Leaving the fallen leaves on the ground during autumn/winter is beneficial for your lawns and nature! (who would’ve guessed)

This is your reminder to #leavetheleaves (or move them to more beneficial location 😉)!!

How did life begin? A microbiologist digs into fossilized clues from ancient microbes to help answer one of science’s biggest questions.
The Humble Microbe Could Help Us Understand Life Itself
Unlocking the basic science of microbes, especially those that live in extreme environments, could help us find life elsewhere in the universe.
