Unseen Life: In, On, Around Us

Microbes thrive everywhere we’ve looked: from the upper reaches of the atmosphere to the very bowels of the Earth, in frigid lakes hidden beneath Antarctic ice to scalding geothermal vents.

Our homes may be one of the most novel habitats on the planet, and we share them with hundreds of thousands of species, a large proportion of which are unnamed and previously unknown to science.

Join evolutionary biologist Rob Dunn as he leads us on a journey into this mysterious micro world. Humans have co-evolved with this menagerie, and when we strive to rid ourselves of them, we may actually compromise our immune systems.

Prof. Rob Dunn heads up the Dunn Lab Group at North Carolina State University and is an affiliate of the Danish Natural History Museum. He is the author of several popular science books, including most recently, Never Home Alone: The Natural History of Where We Live.
