Posted on April 11, 2012 by Sonoma Valley Sun

Experts will discuss the living things for which there is no such condition as too hot, too cold, too deep, too high, too dry or too toxic. The study of these alien-looking creatures inform scientists as to the origins of life of Earth, and the search for life elsewhere in the universe. 2:30 p.m. $20-$25. 13935 Sonoma Hwy.
