 In this lecture, Scott Chimileski and Roberto Kolter will share their fascination with the wonders of the microbial world through vignettes and images from their new book, *Life at the Edge of Sight: A Photographic Exploration of the Microbial World* (Harvard University Press). Their presentation will feature a stunning visual exploration of microbes, from the pioneering findings of a seventeenth-century visionary to magnificent close-ups of the inner workings and cooperative communities of Earth’s most prolific—but often invisible—organisms.
