"The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape made of tiny living beings." -Lynn Margulis

Tiny Living Beings is a weekly podcast where listeners get to know a scientist, a weird microorganism they like, and why they think it's interesting. Our planet is full of billions of different microscopic organisms, most of which are still unknown to science. The ones we do know are diverse and strange. Microbiology knowledge is often gatekept by scientists who mostly discuss this information among themselves in professional circles, but more of these topics need to be shared with the public! Content is geared toward all ages and backgrounds, anyone who is scientifically curious.
