'Long-range snacking'... sounds like you just found the next "Quarantine Olympics' event...

[kaibernova]

Is it possible to do a collaboration with Smarter Every Day to shoot some slow-mo for those fast micro actions?

[dr.kaspar]

Александра, i'm glad to see a comrad here, especially among patreons

[iloveeveryone]

I honestly hope you do plankton one day. Look up Dinoflagellates. If you think something that sucks is cool, check out something that shoots!

[djinnisequoia]

This has been a particularly engaging episode. Thanks so much!

[cb-wicq]

[MiljanBojovic]

“Good at eating.”



Reminds me of someone...

[donaldvincent]

I hate that I cannot have my microscope here at work with me. Every time I watch this channel I want to look for myself. At least at home I can take my time and enjoy. I should go home early!

[Ionee-qf]

what a life, food just comes to you so you can eat all day, but also you gotta work to get that food to you nonstop so you have to eat so you have enough energy to eat

[insomnibomb]

Will You guys ever discuss the microbes in rainwater or krill/plankton or are they to big to be considered microscopic

[tobiasrietveld]

What is the little spider-like thingy at 1:51?

[Guydude]

Yeah, being able to open the fridge from my desk and make a sandwich without getting up really does sound like the life. Those fellas got it good.
