SESSION 3: When Microbes Speak, What Do They Say? On the Poetics of Scientific Practice
Speakers: Kriti Sharma (UC Santa Cruz)
Chair: Roberta Raffaetà (Ca' Foscari University of Venice)
Discussant: Shaul Bassi (Ca' Foscari University of Venice)

Sharma explores how scientific practices—from experimental design to observation—are inherently artistic, requiring sensitivity to beauty, imagination, and craft. Drawing from her decade-long research on diverse microbial contexts, from deep-sea sediments to seagrass ecosystems, she develops a poetic approach to scientific practice that reveals new ways of understanding life beyond conventional interpretations, suggesting alternative possibilities for experiencing and describing human-microbial relationships.
