Pressing the bell icon for this channel has been one of the better things I've done for my mental health. Thank you, James, Hank, patrons, and everyone else.

Facitative Mutualism is what we should strive for as a society, thanks for the inspiration little guy 🤩

I love the metaphors you tie in at the end of these videos

❤️ it’s just me? Or others can find this relatable in many levels.
Thank you for an other mirror shaped by microorganisms.

I love every episode of this series, I love to show as many of my friends this channel as I can and they generally love it as well.

3:47 - whoa, you glossed over an interesting point about freezing microbes for future study! Can they be revived after that? Even when it's a cell full of other cells?

Paramecium bursaria has to be my favorite...they look like living opals...so cool.

Just found this channel and boy so glad I did. As a longtime follower of both scishow and andrew huang (yay pfudor), these videos are a perfect symbiosis of science and art. Keep up the good work!

Tried to wipe off james's lens smudge (in the lower right quadrant) at least four times

[GtwNYkHYs]

this is some of the best content on youtube and I never studied biology

As for the Loxodus rostrum, is it possible that the endo symbiont catches the light before it can do harm to the host? That could be the reason for the succes.
