Let's try a Macast episode 431, searching for life on Mars.

Welcome to this try on Macast, our weekly facts based journey through the Cosmos where

we help you understand not only what we know but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Cain, I'm the publisher of the University of University and with me

is Dr. Pamela Gay, the director of CosmoQuest.

Doing great, this is sort of the last episode and then we're going to be for a couple of weeks

because we're going to be both on various trips.

I'm going to be down in Costa Rica, tromping through the jungle looking for insects with

And I'm going to be in San Francisco at the American Geophysical Union meeting.

So yeah, I've got all the science and you've got all the bugs.
