Roberto Kolter, Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology, Harvard Medical School, Harvard University
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.
