The unseen world is uncovered and presented to us by Dr. Steve Gschmeissner.  From tardigrades, viruses, pollen, human sperm and diatoms, Dr. Gschmeissner has used the scanning electron microscope to photograph them all.  On this episode of A Journey Through Nature and Science you will experience the beauty and wonder of these images.  His electron micrograph images have been used on the cover of record albums and inspired the design of clothing and furniture.  The unseen world is truly full of wonder and life worth seeing.

Don Murphy hosts Nature and Science Podcast, a series built on conversations with people for whom curiosity is a way of life. Rather than presenting dry lectures, each episode unfolds as a personal narrative, tracing the unique path that led a guest to their particular corner of the natural or scientific world. You might hear a theoretical physicist describe the moment a complex equation first felt beautiful, or a park ranger recount the specific, quiet morning that solidified their commitment to a wilderness area. The discussions are grounded in the human experience behind the disciplines, whether it's a conservation biologist explaining the emotional weight of tracking a species' recovery or an amateur astronomer sharing how mapping the stars became a lifelong solace. This approach makes the vast subjects of nature and science feel accessible and intimately connected to daily life. By focusing on these individual journeys, the podcast reveals how passion and profession intertwine, offering listeners not just information, but inspiration. It’s for anyone who has ever looked at a forest or a formula and wondered about the stories hidden within. Tune in to find a sense of connection through the shared wonder of exploration.
