We co-edited this book as MnemoZIN, a collective name for Zsuzsa Millei, Iveta Silova, and Nelli Piattoeva. Writing together is our methodโ€”and our refusal of academic individualism. Inspired by Mnemosyne, Goddess of Memory & Daughter of Gaia

A microscopic image showing several green, circular to oval-shaped cells of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. The cells have a layered appearance and are viewed under an electron microscope. Clusters of smaller dark dots, likely bacteria or cellular fragments, appear near the larger cells.

A microscopic image showing several green, circular to oval-shaped cells of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. The cells have a layered appearance and are viewed under an electron microscope. Clusters of smaller dark dots, likely bacteria or cellular fragments, appear near the larger cells.

Prochlorococcus, a marine bacterium that is only 0.5โ€“0.7 micrometers wide, produces more oxygen than all tropical rainforests combined.

Every tiny organism plays a key role in our planet's health.
