      Great. Stuck at 480p because you guys had to upload in 60fps again. There is absolutely no reason you should be uploading at 60fps unless it's an alternate link. I'm going to dog you about this until I die. It's so elitist and unnecessary.

      @@grieske Hi! back in 1974 when I was a Biology student at University of Illinois in Chicago, I was hired by the department to get SEM images of the insides of Euglena Gracilis. I'd take a drop of culture, and place it on a little square of double sided tape on the top of an aluminum stud which was used as the microscope stage. I'd freeze it quickly with a blast of liquid nitrogen, and then scrape half of the frozen drop with a spatula, and then freeze dry it. After sputtering some gold or aluminum on the now dried sample, (to better reflect the electron beam), we'd put it in the SEM and look for interesting things to record on a Polaroid camera fixed to a high resolution CRT screen on the microscope. The organelles of the damaged cells could be seen, having tumbled out of their cell membranes and could be identified. I thought it was wonderful that I could do things like this AND get paid for it at the same time, while a freshman in college!

I'm working in an academic lab where we're designing fluorescent dyes that change color based on their environment (Red when inside a membrane or orange when it's exposed to the cytoplasm). We use a computer to simulate/calculate the electronic properties of dyes to get an estimate of if the dyes could change color (Solvatochromism). It's neat stuff

    Omg I love this channel so much! I hope you guys never stop making these videos (and also upgrading your microscopes)! This channel has seriously helped me get through some tough times over the past few years. I know it sounds real weird to say that about some science videos about bacteria, but each video is so artful and a true pleasure to watch. The footage alone is magical, and the gentle, reflective narration style is so incredibly soothing. Witnessing those all those microbes wriggling and writhing around (just trying to survive and live their best lives!) fills me with profound childlike wonder at the mysteries of life. Somehow seeing the drama of life and death play out on this microscopic scale feels really relatable in some ways, like it gives me a broader perspective on my own struggles as a life-form.
    Anyway, I digress; what I'm trying to say is thank you guys so much for the hard work and passion that goes into making this excellent content! ❤️
