Note: I am not knowledgeable enough on ciliate behavior to be confident that these ciliates are in fact "having a good time". The ciliates in blue are likely following some sort of gradient, my guess is oxygen. Therefore there is likely a range of comfortably within the ciliates in blue.

I really appreciate the work you put into making these videos. I love your microscopy, for one thing. You always have excellent contrast and make it really easy to tell who you're shooting without needing a pointer and adding the details like the magnification, speed, and subject give my brain some context to better understand what's happening. Thank you!

Awe shoot, thanks so much. It's very much a passion project and I enjoy pretty much every aspect of it. I'm really glad you like the videos so much.

I feel like I'm honing the craft. I hope to keep this up, and I can't wait to see how new microbes with music videos will look in the coming years.
