From the magazine itself I came to learn about your blog, and am now trully hooked! Thank you for a refreshing break from my daily blog readings... :) Cheers, Og Maciel I came across a-not-so-old issue of the American Scientist while waiting for my wife at the doctor’s, and was easily attracted to your writing style.

Compliments aside, isn't your statement about geothermal vents misleading? I can accept that temperatures in these vents get to 300 degrees Celsius, but I think that the most heat-tolerant organisms we know of exist around the periphery of these vents, where the temperature is a chilly 115 or so. 115-120 is the upper limit for known hyperthermophilic bacteria, anyway....
