Unlocking the Patterns of Life

It's not just about unearthing a microbial treasure. It's greater than that.

Mexican Cave Bat

It’s about unlocking the patterns of life. It’s about tracing the movement of billions of microorganisms hidden inside a Mexican cave that could hold the key to survival in the earth’s most extreme environments. It’s about a specially-built camera, capturing images whose patterns could naturally measure climate change. It’s about a unique team of scholars and NASA scientists, researchers and engineers all working together. It’s about a university where competition opens to collaboration. Where teaching is enhanced by discovery. And where fact, informed by faith, creates better stewards of the planet we call home.
