Microbiologist Karen Lloyd's quest to understand microbes, carbon, and the deep Earth took her into an active volcano.

This week on UnDisiplined, we're joined for the second time by Karen Lloyd, whose work is helping us understand the relationship between microbes, carbon, and the deep Earth.

We'll also be joined by Marcus Drymon of Mississippi State University, a marine fisheries ecologist whose recent work has been getting a lot of attention.
