In this episode, we dive into the world of sci-fi and the microbes we find in them. In part one we dive into such works as the universe of Star Wars and Midichlorians, H. G. Wells and the war of the worlds, The science of growing potatoes in The Martian, and space tardigrades and the mycelial network in Star Trek Discovery.
