Microbes live all around us. They thrive in water, soil, and even your own body. Come along on an urban adventure and learn how to recognize the visible signs of microscopic life in urban environments. We'll view samples collected from urban locations up to four hundred times magnified to get up close and personal with some of the charismatic critters that live in this urban microcosmos. Learn about microbiology, and the techniques behind microscopy and microbe identification.
