Nature Reviews Microbiology celebrates its 15^th anniversary and with it the microbiology community, many of whom have contributed directly and indirectly to the content of the journal. 

To mark this occasion, we wanted to give our readers a glimpse behind the curtains, and asked a few of our past authors and editors about their views on microbiology, the journal and their experiences of working with us in a series of interviews.

Our anniversary issue also contains the first of these ‘Under the Lens’ articles which are penned by microbial imaging specialists at the University of Oxford.
