Thursday, November 4 @ 6:30pm - 8:00pm EST

A partnership between Dance Exchange and
the American Society for Microbiology

“Research Reimagined: Moving with Microbes” is an interactive, movement-based experience that will provide a unique opportunity to explore the science and art of microbiology. The event is co-organized by the American Society for Microbiology and Dance Exchange, whose work at the intersection of art and science has brought them into collaboration with CERN, the National Park Service, the US Forest Service—and now ASM!

“Research Reimagined: Moving with Microbes” offers conversations and interactions about the relevance of soil microbiomes and the ecosystem services they provide in our changing climate. Participants engaged with artists, performers, writers, soil scientists, and farmers, each of whom brings a distinct perspective on microbiology. We also gave participants a chance to share their own research. Collectively, we aim to make visible and embody the complex interactions of soil microbes with each other and our world, and imagine answers to the question, “What does the soil want us to know?”

“Research Reimagined: Moving with Microbes” was open to all microbiologists, regardless of career stage, location or research specialty. We asked that they come with an open mind and a willingness to participate. What we hope they took away was a new appreciation for their favorite microbe(s), a better understanding of the work their colleagues, and a feel for new approaches to communicating and experiencing science.
