" There are mysteries both microbial and human to this story, and if Kahl helped us solve some of the former, he left us with more of the latter. Just as we know little about the beginning of his life, we know little about the end of it as well. It's really just that decade of work that seems to have lasted. But oh how it has lasted. Alfred Kahl's texts have gone on to become immensely important to those who study ciliates, filled with drawings that help those like James, our master of microscopes, who are trying to figure out what they see under their microscopes. The tools may have changed, the ways we share information has evolved, but the delight and curiosity--that remains unchanged."
