Explanation:
The numerous and varied interconnections that microbiology shares with the study and exploration of space may not be readily apparent to many, but these fields have been intertwined ever since the development and adoption of the telescope and compound microscope as scientific instruments at the turn of the seventeenth century. Using a series of lenses to explore physical existence not readily visible to the naked eye — albeit at vastly different scales — has provided inspiration to generations of budding researchers and science enthusiasts over the centuries. Take a straw poll of those working around you and it is likely that the majority of your colleagues will have messed around with a microscope or telescope in their youth; indeed, a poll of the Nature Microbiology editorial office gave a unanimous positive outcome. Some individuals take pursuit of the intersection between microbiology and space science to an entirely different level, as revealed in an illuminating interview in this month's issue with Kate Rubins, a virologist and NASA astronaut who recently became the first person to sequence DNA in space (see ‘A microbiologist's guide to the galaxy’1).
