ammonia = life?

This article tells us how ammonia could be the next indication of life on mars since it is the product of active volcanoes and microbes. Since active volcanoes have yet to be discovered, scientists believe that the presence of ammonia could be a good indicator of life. This article is cool because it shows that even with the smallest amount of data, scientists are able to deduce reasonable hypotheses about the red planet.
