The vast majority of living things around us are invisible to the naked eye. The bottom of a shoe, the inside of a mouth, the surface of a piece of cheese – all of these are miniature ecosystems for a variety of cellular life, but in the course of our day-to-day we rarely notice them.
 In a labratory setting, this setup can be used to test the resilience of certain strains of bacteria. But a hobbyist can use petri dishes to check out the delightfully gross bacteria hanging out in their pet's mouth, on their plate, or on a doorknob! 
It was a blast to do this little science experiment, and we hoped it inspired you to try it for yourself! Many thanks to my collaborators: Mark Ivey, Jesse Eisenhardt, Michelle Ortega, and Tyler Watkins.
