Step into the invisible world that curiosity and cutting‑edge imaging make visible. In this talk, Dr. Tagide deCarvalho will share the stories and techniques behind her striking microscopy images—revealing how modern optical and electron microscopes open windows into cells, viruses, and other hidden structures of life.

Expect a presentation that blends science, storytelling, and visual wonder—perfect for anyone who's ever felt like a "curious nerd" eager to see the world in new ways.

Dr. Tagide deCarvalho is the Assistant Director of UMBC's CNMS Core Facilities and manager of Keith R. Porter imaging Facility. She provides imaging expertise for both life and material science projects and has a particular interest in imaging bacteriophage. Her work sits at the intersection of art and science: her award-winning images can be found in a textbook, the USPS "Life Magnified" series postage stamps and a NASA Science calendar.
