Christa Schleper is a microbiologist in the field of archaeal molecular biology and a leader in the discovery and characterization of new archaeal species. She was a key player in the discovery of Picrophilus oshimae and the first archaeal conjugative plasmid, pNOB8. This chapter is a personal reflection from Sonja Albers on Dr. Schleper’s career and how her accomplishments and enthusiasm have inspired the field of archaeal biology.
