That annotation idea you said is very important to the format. I am not sure if Andrew has don’t a long soundtrack of all the channel’s pleasant sounds.

    What really amazes me about microbes is their sense of direction. Looking at them through a microscope, it is hard to get any sort of bearing; where do I want to go, what do I do when I get there? Looking at microbes, it is like this isn't a question they even need to ponder. They know where they are going and know exactly what to do when they get there, or die in the attempt. Damn impressive, that sense of purpose, I think.
