SciencePoles interviewed Annick Wilmotte

21 august 2006

SciencePoles interviewed in June 2006 Dr Annick Wilmotte, a specialist in Antarctic micro-organisms at the Université de Liège (ULg). Her work on cyanobacteria, found in abundance in Antarctic surface lakes, has stimulated considerable scientific and commercial interest.
Dr Wilmotte is currently co-Leader of MERGE (Microbiological and Ecological Responses to Global Environmental Changes in Polar Regions), an International Polar Year 2007-2008 project (which will look at a slice of polar life from microbes up to small plants).

The interview is posted on the SciencePoles website.
