The Future of Microscopy (and end of our Journey)

[@JamsGerms]

Thank you so much everyone! It’s so sad to say goodbye to this channel. What a journey it’s been! I’m not done with microscopy! I hope to see you all on my channel! ❤️ -James

[@Pizza_Is_Cool]

Wanna say that you guys' work inspired me greatly, and continues to do so. It's a marriage of art and science that is so sorely needed!

What's the other channel?

You haven’t made a video in a year

Will this channel still be here,🥺 IT helps me to fall asleep

Because of this channel (and Microbes Hunter), I enrolled in microbiology as a career, I am currently in my 3rd year, love it, love it, love it... still, every time I come over to this channel, it never ceases to amaze me. Thank you team JTTM

I think that's about the highest praise a KZbin channel could receive!

[@rh-sd7tf]

The end of this channel makes me want to cry. So unique. So calming. So educational. I learned and saw so much here that you don’t get anywhere else. This was my favorite KZbin channel, and I’ve recommended it to many people who have also enjoyed it over the years.

II dont get this. 905.000 subscribr and the channel? Wooot?

[@garrettingle6728]

I did cry lmao

[@colinquinn676]

Don’t stop watching them then! Get your hands on a microscope and see how many lil’ dudes you can find in the nearest puddle

[@JHaven-lg7lj]

And Deboki’s narration!

[@MuscarV2]

​@JHaven-lg7lj has* A mistake like that completely destroys any sense that you care. It's just so shallow to not even read what you've written. What could have been a thankful and positive comment is made into a great reflection of why they can't continue, people like you can't even do the most basic thing of proofreading their once sentence left as a thanks. If you actually care you should feel bad about showing such a lack of respect.

[@paolag7455]

As silly as it may sound, your video on the ciliate's death helped me cope during my losses; first it was my cat, and then my father. I'll forever treasure this show, thank you for taking us on this amazing journey.

[@bagfootbandit8745]

It's helped me cope with the fear of death as well-- death of my loved ones as well as myself

[@sewaprolo]

It's not silly at all. It helped me with my mother's passing. That video contained a very powerful message.

This channel was was the reason I got into microscopy. Sad to see them go.

Same here! It's such a fun channel, very sad to see it go. All good things must come to an end eventually tho

[@GaiaCarney]

This hit me hard 😭 why is it ending??

Well it's ending because it didn't make enough money

[@sciencenerd7639]

I'm heartbroken about the show ending, but I'll enjoy rewatching all the old episodes.

Keep your integrity and keep your videos up. Don't delete anything, keep everything listed for archival purposes. Just because the account will be inactive doesn't mean everything has to disappear.

[@DanceForMe13]

As a microbiologist I want to thank you for all you have done for this incredible field.

[@CMY_Kat]

This was one of the most chill and educational channels on this platform. It's so sad that this journey is coming to an end, and I can only thank you for the years of taking us on this journey.

[@Zunree1869]

I hope you leave the channel open to leave a mark of possibly one of best channels to ever exist on youtube. You guys at complexly are the goat, seriously. You have earned my respect.

[@phlanxsmurf]

Thanks for putting love and attention into this channel over the years. The care shows and these videos will continue educating and fascinating as years tick on. Thanks.

Thank you yall for letting me come on this journey with yall into the unseen world that surrounds us

It is truly a shame that we will no longer join you on your journey, but now its time to dive into the microcosmos for ourselves. It was a pleasure and perhaps we will see you there again.

If this channel did not achieve success while alive, it will certainly get it posthumously. Many great artists don't get recognized until they're long gone, after all.

Sad to see the end.. but glad to have come with y'all the whole way. Thanks for doing all this.. you awoke in my daughter a love of the invisible worlds that surround us all. You've enriched my life twice over, to my mind. Imagine how many in total you've changed for the better... Farewell to all involved... for now. I expect we'll hear from you in other ways, at other times... to be inspired all over again.

I'd just like to say, I discovered this channel sometime during highschool. Because of your videos, I studied Biology in college. And now, Im studying for a masters degree in microbiology. I may not affect everyone who contributed in the making of this channel and its videos, nor affect the world, but your videos made my world and affected me deeply. You sent me into a trajectory which I am now navigating through. This channel has been an inspiration for me. Thank you

[@SoorajAntony007]

Thank you for taking us on this journey. Hope the producers and staff will reconsider restarting this channel after this hopefully short sabbatical. Cheers to y'all.

I'm sorry I couldn't help make this a more financially successful endeavor for y'all but I appreciate every moment you've produced. Showing my children these videos has surely made some kind of significant impact. They live in an era where seeing these things is THIS accessible and that's a beautiful human achievement.

I really hope you're going to leave all the videos up.

This channel needs to stay up because it's such a great introduction to the micro environments and is an amazing teaching tool. I'll miss you guys so much❤, but I hope I will still be able to re-watch and recommend your content/videos!

[@gordonthorn2049]

I hope a series pops up about the human microbiome and the things that cause illnesses or help the body. Many Doctors poorly understand bacteria, viruses and parasites in general. To understand how things like parasites affect health and how common they are or aren't would be a great channel.

Thank you for everything. It was an amazing journey. But every journey has an end. But I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying see you soon on our next journey.

[@TheRogueWolf]

I remember the first video I saw for JttM. When the Patreon call went out, I decided that eight bucks a month wasn't too much to give to a really interesting-looking channel, especially with ASMR Hank Green on offer. Since then, I've had some fun, made some puns (mostly bad ones, but are there _really_ any "good" ones?), and- most importantly- learned a thing or two about this fascinating world that exists literally under my nose (and inside it, for that matter). And now we come to the end of an era- a small one, to be sure, but no less impactful for it. As I see my name overlaid upon an image of a little tardigrade clambering around inside a bubble, I think to myself, "I helped make this." It's a nice feeling.

[@pattheplanter]

Congratulations on producing one of the best documentary series ever filmed. It may be low-key and informal with short episodes but you are up there with Attenborough, Sagan and Burke as science communicators. On a much smaller budget. You should be proud of this work that will be remembered by many with much fondness and is still to be enjoyed by many more.

One the most absolutely fantastic courses that I was fortunate enough to have in university was one in microscopy for “non-majors”… we were allowed to attempt to capture any image that we could conceive… It was intended for research candidates in post-graduate programs, who needed such skills… Being someone who would end up working in motorsports and scuba diving, I was beyond lucky to be exposed to such technology and watching these videos takes me back to one of the best times of my life! Thank, you for allowing me to continue the journey that I started so many years ago!

I’ve taken so, so much out of this, thank you team Microcosmos, and I wish everyone on it nothing but the best in their future endeavors. Hopefully this AMAZING archive of footage and information inspires many an aspiring microscopist, and wows & educates many more.
