We build the richness of our soils and reduce weed and pest pressures using a variety of techniques, from crop rotations to compost and cover crops, which put nutrients into the soil and increase the living organisms within, in turn nourishing our crops and ultimately ourselves.

To test if the small amounts of uppers were negatively affecting aquatic life in the streams or just giving fish a little vim and vigor, researchers built a duplicate stream environment in their lab, complete with rocks and living organisms, and seeded the thing with a sprinkle of ice.

Some of its other work includes helping to rehabilitate astronauts coming back from the International Space Station, creating exercise equipment that cosmonauts use in space to stay healthy, and doing experiments in space biology — including sending satellites aloft with living organisms, to better understand how microorganisms behave in the space environment.

But there was only one thing I really wanted to see: the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a grand architectural oddity designed by Kisho Kurokawa, a founding genius behind Japanese Metabolism, an innovative movement united around the desire to create buildings whose forms mirrored and were responsive to those of living organisms.

Near the top of a winding mountain path, Gaillardet explained to me that some of the questions Latour had been asking the group, in particular about the influence of living organisms on geological processes, were difficult to answer because they forced scientists to reckon with knowledge outside their specialized fields.

The technology, which lets scientists modify living organisms by deleting and adding genes to strings of their DNA, has made headlines in recent years due to the powerful potential it holds for medicine, agriculture, and biotech, as well as the potential risks of creating unforeseen problems that could be passed down through successive generations.

New research released on Friday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has resulted in a fossilized portrait of the day nearly 66 million years ago when an asteroid struck the Earth moving at nearly 45,000 MPH, producing a supersonic shock wave and wiping out the vast majority of the planet's living organisms.

Watch more on Motherboard in 360/VR: Nuclear From Above Understanding how living organisms adapt to radiation doses has a range of applications, from medicine to conservation, but one of the most overlooked is preparation for long-duration human space missions and interplanetary colonization, both of which involve sustained exposure to higher radiation doses than what we experience on Earth's surface.

Among them: the fact that the moon and Earth are genetically related and formed from different proportions of a common reservoir of materials; confirmation that the moon is lifeless and home to no living organisms, fossils, or native organic compounds; and recognition that the moon's surface is covered by rock fragments and dust known as the "lunar regolith," whose four-billion-year, solar-radiation history provides valuable clues to understanding climate changes on Earth.

In addition to samples of common tree species, like ginkgos, banyans, redwoods, Phoenix palms, and Lebanese cedars, she scored a piece of a nearly 5,000-year-old Methuselah tree, one of the world's oldest living organisms; a scrap of railroad tie taken from the Panama Canal Railway, which claimed the lives of thousands of workers during its construction; and wood salvaged from the Atlantic City boardwalk, devastated by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Knowing how to paddle a canoe, or fix a faucet, or work a cash register, or bake a coffeecake, or comfort someone who is unhappy, is much more important than knowing the names of the six kingdoms of living organisms, or the layers of the atmosphere, even if you're going to become a naturalist or an atmospheric physicist — and paddling and faucet-fixing and cash-registering and cake-baking and the offering of sympathy, like most memorable proficiencies, happen best when they're voluntary, after school is out.

Check out more videos from VICE: Geneticist and TV host David Suzuki, 81, confronted the audience with the possibility that if we don't take the necessary action against climate change, 90 percent of humanity could be wiped out by end of the century (a theory proposed by James Lovelock, the climate scientist best known for his controversial Gaia hypothesis proposing that our planet has a self-regulating system the way living organisms do; likelihood of the 90-percent thing probably changes depending on who you talk to).
