Credits Karen G. Lloyd is the Wrigley Chair in Environmental Studies and professor of Earth science at the University of Southern California. This essay is adapted from her forthcoming book “Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth” (Princeton University Press, 2025). The way to spot a cold methane seep on the ocean floor is to look for the life that gathers around it, like antelopes at a savanna watering hole: clams, mussels, crabs, shrimp, fish, sea anemones and creepy, othe

The dark nooks and crannies of the lunar surface just might harbor life, according to new research. In a preprint study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference last month, scientists propose that permanently shadowed regions of the Moon, or PSRs, have the right conditions to shelter microbial life forms — which could have profound implications for our efforts to explore the Earth's craggy satellite. Some PSRs haven't seen sunlight in billions of years, due to the slight ti

Mitchell has been working with samples collected by a local biotech company developing biotherapeutics for the gut. Its probiotic products, which are used to treat recurrent C. diff infections, contain eight closely related microbial strains belonging to the order known as Clostridiales. The company gave one of its products to 56 human subjects and collected stool samples over time. Mitchell is using genetic sequencing techniques to track how three of the microbial species evolved in 21 of the s
