Can microorganisms live in the upper atmosphere? Here, Dr. Williamson explores the topic of aerobiology and exobiology. He goes over what bioaerosols are and how to detect them, whether the atmosphere is a habitat for microbes and what sort of habitats exist, looks at studies across the troposphere, stratosphere, and even the mesosphere, and finishes with future directions of research.
