Droughts and wildfires are persistent threats in states like Montana. Can high-flying bacteria potentially mitigate such natural events by inducing more rainfall through formation of ice crystals needed to produce rain? Dr. David Sands, professor of Plant Pathology at Montana State University, discusses the possibilities of such “bioprecipitation” in the winter/spring 2018 Science Inquiry Lecture Series of the Gallatin Valley Friends of the Sciences.
