At the American Museum of Natural History, SciCafe turns the New York City subway into a research subject. The program traces the invisible microbiome that rides rails and clings to turnstiles, using scientific fieldwork to map how bodies, buildings, and seasons shape what we breathe and touch underground. It also reads as a quiet civic portrait, treating transit as shared habitat rather than simple infrastructure. In a city that narrates itself through movement, the findings add an uneasy layer of intimacy to daily commutes.
