It’s always a treat to have a photo in New York Magazine, even if it’s just a quarter page use of an image from 10 years ago. And it’s an honor to accompany Martin Schoeller’s lead image for this article about Dr. Michael Levin’s work. This tearsheet is from the July 27, 2026 issue of New York. 

You can read the article online: What Is It Like to Be a Cucumber? The biologist Michael Levin has spent his life trying to prove that minds show up in places we’d never think to look.

Thanks to Maura for getting in touch!
