Exposing roses to Martian Environment

2007

c-lab embarked on trip to the Mars Lab in Aarhus, Denmark where we conduct the first part of our research project, The Martian Rose.  The experiment that took place in the Mars Lab entailed exposing two roses to Martian conditions using a planetary biochamber.
