#ICYMI: buff.ly/3NyhYbg This week, there's a bonus #SETILive! @allplanets discussed @extreme_microbe's recent @NatureAstronomy article about how we should follow the salts🧂 instead of the water💧 when looking for life on #Mars🔴.

We may be looking for #life on #Mars in the wrong places. The Viking life detection experiments might have inadvertently killed indigenous Martian life by applying too much water. We should follow the salt ! See my blog with link to Nature Astronomy paper: bigthink.com/hard-science/fo…
