UVA Joins new NSF Science & Technology Center: Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet

Did you know 1/4 of carbon derived from photosynthesis on Earth cycles through the ocean’s microbe network in minutes to days? We just learned this from the new National Science Foundation Science Technology Center! The Center for Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet (c-COMP) will explore how this works with chemistry, biology, modeling, informatics and education research!
