You Under the Microscope

You Under the Microscope explores the unseen and unusual microscopic processes happening around us―and on us, and inside us!―every day.

Fun, colorful, and ingeniously illustrated, this book highlights the far out and fabulous things happening under, on, and occasionally up our noses. Ooh and ahh at the infographics exploring tiny creatures living on our faces, the trillions of bacteria and viruses within our bodies, the genes we’ve never seen but (literally) couldn't live without, and even medical marvels like 3D-printed organs.

With dozens of novel and fascinating scientific tidbits presented in a familiar setting―you!―this book is for anyone interested in learning more about human biology, microbes, genetics, cutting-edge medicine or simply seeing the everyday a little bit differently.

Jenn Dlugos and Charlie Hatton are Boston-based science nerds who met through stand-up comedy. By day, Jenn writes science textbooks and Charlie slings data for a lab in a cancer research hospital. By night, they make comedy films and dream about starting a new TikTok dance craze called The Microbe Mash.
