I love that the most powerful thing in science is being able to admit that you're wrong.
-
I love this series so much, but man what I would give for podcasts with hank taking about literally anything in this relaxing voice to listen to before falling asleep at night, gravely or not.
-
"Moist taxi" creates the most uncomfortable image in my mind
-
2:08- "Honest, officer, I'm not drunk! I've got a paramecium stuck to me!" "Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before. Come on, it's off to the drunk slide with you."
-
Parameciums are great at parties, trust me.
-
This is honestly the only channel that features microorganism photobombing that I know lol.
-
I absolutely love the term "International Microbes of Mystery".
-
The footage in this was gorgeous. I love that you can get a sense visually for their shape in 3d as they swim around. It's easy to forget when looking at flat illustrations and diagrams.
-
I want to reenact the beginning of this video. I'm going to swallow Christmas lights and then dive into piranha-infested waters.
-
"Hey baby, are you a snail? Cause I'm a paramecium & I want you to be my Moist Taxi tonight ;) " This is the most sinful phrase I've ever written
-
2:07 There have been plenty of times where we've set up a recording of some beautiful organism, only to have paramecia come by... and photobomb our composition. Euglena: Paramecia: i sPin YoU rIgHt rOuNd bAbY rIgHt ROuNd LiKe a ReCOrD--

These videos are perfect for Monday mornings. A peaceful, mellow but also informative way to get your brain going for the week.
-
I love how the narrator talks about these guys like they are cute little cuddly animals.
-
Where I live we call Paramecium "slipper animals"
-
Chill voiceover + soft music + beautiful imagery + SCIENCE = A really nice little rest for my anxious self. I'm sorry to be seeing the view count on new videos slowly dropping, and I hope you guys keep making these videos for a long time to come. I've never found anything quite like this, you are making something really special.
-
Never had a channel I always clicked immediately.
-
This is exciting! At my lab my team and I study the protein that causes this so called "killer trait" (R bodies) Happy to see Hank talk about it :)
-
"Moist Taxi" -Hank Green, 2019. Let's see THAT make it into one of John's novels, huh?
-
ah yes, kappa particles, I've observed those in twitch chat
-
My son loves these videos. He will be so angry that I'm watching it without him.
