Moduli spaces—informally, spaces that parametrize shapes—play a central role in geometry, with moduli spaces of hyperbolic surfaces providing a particularly rich example. The talk begins with puzzles and visualizations of related spaces, before lurching toward hyperbolic surfaces. Somewhat unexpectedly, these same surfaces also arise in the solution of certain graph drawing problems, revealing a b
