Nitrogen I - the who's who in N2 fixation - Mar Benavides

All life, and certainly this podcast, critically depends on nitrogen (N). It all starts with the fixation of N2 gas to make it available for life, so I reached out to Dr. Mar Benavides from National Oceanography Centre in the UK to ask a lot of dumb, and some extremely sophisticated questions on the matter. Thanks Mar for being the Guinea pig on this podcast! This conversation was recorded on the 10th of April, 2026. More updates on this podcast can be found at www.marine-biogeochemistry.org/podcast
