Probably to formulate theories relating to the survival of microbes in the vacuum and coldness of space.
Increasing government funding of research
Federal funding for mosquito abatement research is not an example of casework. It would be an example of earmarks, sometimes referred to as pork barrel spending.
Without humans in Antarctica, there would be no scientific research as to the health of planet earth.
Geography
There are no houses on Antarctica, but there are research stations. Research station buildings include dorm rooms, cafeteria and work location-specific buildings.
As a basic biological science microorganism are good tools used in research in study of life process. As an applied science deals with many important practical problem in medicine,agriculture and industry.
There are no countries on Antarctica and no permanent population. Many countries have scientific research stations on Antarctica. Since the primary industry is scientific research, all of the people working there would be exceptionally well educated.
To give a funding agency the status of your lab's research project.
Research stations in polar climates, especially on Antarctica, are committed and dedicated to studying the health of planet Earth through science.
Politics decide the funding for scientific research, and without political backing of an experiment or study, the project would have no funding to conduct said study
Because they are the warmer months and researching would be easier
There are no countries on Antarctica and no permanent population. Many countries have scientific research stations on Antarctica. The people working there would almost certainly be paying taxes to whatever government they are working for or on behalf of.
