Jan, 2003 - PresentMicrobe Whisperer
JeM, Ph.D. was born on earth, in the 20th century. She is an environmental microbiologist, a mystic, an artist, a writer and the creator of 44 original paintings of microbes or microbial communities that keep our planet clean and habitable. While trained as a research scientist at Cornell University, earning her doctorate, she follows a mystical path, which leads her to apply multidimensional solutions to problems in science and in life. Through her personal spiritual experience, she has worked with the types of animal guides that are macroscopic, that is, which can be seen with the unaided eye, such as lions, dolphins and eagles. But microbes are amazing creatures, and since they've impressed JeM with their capacity to thrive in unusual environments, and also manage to clean up many of our human-made messes, she realized that they are also animal guides, of the microscopic variety. With the flick of an enzymatic pathway or the production of an unusual protein, microbes have the ability to create a home in microenvironments that would kill most other kinds of life. Whether it's a place that's hot and acidic or boasts of below zero temperatures, you can bet there's a microbe who's made itself comfortable there. And if we ever needed some guidance on how to not only survive but to thrive in unhospitable environments, it is now. Our world is changing constantly, and we need to learn to find ways to change with it, successfully. These amazing microbes are illustrated with paintings, described by haiku, summarized scientifically, and finally, give us some spiritual insight as other animal guides do, by how they apply their unique biological natures to achieve a successful existence by solving problems in their chosen micro niche.
