This front-end evaluation sought (1) to identify visitors' prior knowledge of microbial oceanography, and (2) to determine visitors’ interest in the different research conducted by microbial oceanographers with metagenomics data. The findings from this study served to (1) guide the selection of scientific datasets that are meaningful to visitors, (2) suggest areas of interest to highlight, and (3) identify information or explanations visitors may need to make sense of the content, for the Living Liquid pathways project that aimed to use visualization tools to engage museum visitors with microbial oceanography. Appendix contains interview protocol.
