    Thank you Deboki! Wonderful video!
    When you asked us what we would draw if asked to draw a cell, I laughed, because I've been asked just that...and ended up drawing a plant cell, because its shape and structure were the only ones I recalled from middle-school biology!
    I've learned so very much more, watching this channel - and it remains endlessly fascinating and beautiful.
    So thank you once more, to ALL of you, for bringing us such wonder

    Suggestion: talk a little bit about Archaea, one of the three Domains of life. Talk a little bit about their characteristics, and, if it is possible, show some of them. There may be visible differences between them and the Bacteria Domain. The problem is that very few programmes talk about them.
    And, if there could be more episodes focused on prokaryotes (bacteria, archaebacteria and cyanobacteria), it would be enjoyable as well.

    If there is such diversity of microscopic life in our planet, imagine that our planet is a microcosm of the universe - what strange lifeforms live out there? And if they are intelligent, do they look anything like us? How do they communicate? Books like "Life in the Universe" (MV Summers) are fascinating to me. And watching the news coming out of the Pentagon lately only makes it more interesting.

The idea is to be independent of the Gram staining... some bacteria do not stain with Gram ... now they can be classified 😎

    The thing that I liked most about this show was Hank's soothing tone. Deboki's voice just doesn't have the same feel. It feels much more active and excited, which tonally goes in the wrong direction. Nothing against her, she's a great writer... but I just can't find the enjoyment in her episodes that I get from Hank's episodes. The feel of the show is too tied up in Hank's silky delivery, and this just feels like Crash Course: Microbes.
