DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Christa Schleper\nhosted by STEM fatale organizing tea
 m (Nicole Amberg)\nAbstract: Christa Schleper is professor at the Universi
 ty of Vienna\, Austria\, since 2007 and head of the Department of Function
 al and Evolutionary Ecology. Her work focusses on the ecology\, physiology
 \, molecular biology and evolution of Archaea and the development of tools
  for environmental genomics to characterize uncultivated microorganisms.Sc
 hleper has done her PhD at the Max-Planck-Institute in Munich\, postdocs a
 t Caltech and Univ. of Sta Barbara\, California\, and was assistant profes
 sor at the University of Darmstadt and full professor at the University of
  Bergen\, Norway. She is an elected member of the Austrian Academy of Scie
 nces and of EMBO. She is currently speaker of the PhD program Nitrogen cyc
 ling: From single cells to ecosystems and within her ERC Advanced Grant wo
 rks on Asgard Archaea\, the closest living prokaryotic relatives of eukary
 otes. She is also organizer of the new interdisciplinary Climate Change an
 d Climate Crisis lecture of the Univ. of Vienna and actively supports wome
 n in science. In this talk\, she will give an update on the current knowl
 edge of the ecology and evolution of archaea\, on evolutionary scenarios a
 s well as unresolved fundamental questions.She will mix in some personal e
 xperiences of her own scientific (STEM-fatale) journey that equally bears 
 some unexpected and unresolved scenarios…Archaea arose about 3 to 4 bill
 ion years ago on this planet as a second evolutionary line of descent besi
 de Bacteria. Their adaptations to extreme environments give insights into 
 the physical limits where life is possible and inspire scenarios how life 
 on Earth could have emerged – but they also exclude some. Since their di
 scovery in the late 1970s\, phylogenetic reconstructions and also the info
 rmation processing machineries of Archaea reveal a common ancestry with eu
 karyotes (plants and animals). Moreover\, recent (meta-)genomic studies of
  novel archaeal lineages have sparked new hypotheses about the emergence o
 f the first eukaryotic cells.Join using Zoom in your browser. (https://ist
