I have (I think) a very weird perception of scale because I work with semiconductor thin films (for like transistors and stuff), where on the regular I measure my samples in angstrom and nanometer and look at grains that small under scanning electron microscopes. To me, thats "normal". Then I watch microcosmos videos and realize how HUGE and and complex organisms can be, struggling to grasp that they are 100x or 1000x bigger than my "normal" field of view. Thanks Hank, science and scale are weird and mindblowing.

[@druid_zephyrus]

That is fascinating, to me. wow. I was aware of your field and its scale, but for whatever reason never compared the two, probably because I am not involved with one or the other regularly, but that is truly mind blowing to fathom.

Angstrom?

@@lightningwingdragon973 An Ångström (1 Å) is equivalent to 1x10^-10 m, or 0.0000000001 m, or 0.1 nm, or 100 pm if you do choose. It’s named after Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström.

Those few doctors who pioneered soap use was Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who showed that washing your hands with soap reduced the rate of fatal infection. He was ostracized for his realization, for it forced doctors of the time to come to terms with their role in the death of many of their patients, having not washed their hands before many fatal surgeries.

[@faelwolf1177]

Or often, their equipment....

[@moerocco775]

The Arab Muslims were using using soap 1000 years ago and you are talking about 'soap use being pioneered' in the 1800s?

[@moerocco775]

Ah I think you mean when it came to Western medicinal practice. Gotcha. Respect to Dr Semmelweis because that was massive. Up there with the discovery of penicillin. It just has to be. If he was American or British, I'm sure he'd more well known. God knows the amount of people saved from illness and death by these practices becoming widespread in Western medicine.

[@jaynereign3948]

Because he observed midwives washing their hands and eventually and noted they had fewer deaths/complications post birth.

I have eczema, a skin condition that causes a red rash-like reaction to certain stimuli - in my case, excessive use of soaps and similar products. My last bout started in June after using sunscreen for 3 days in a row and washing it off with soap daily. _It is only healing now_ and took a change of diet and (possibly) some basic exercise daily to begin receding. I _still wash my hands regularly_ and always rinse them when I go to the loo for example. I also shower every other day (and use soap) so clean my hands then too. Unless they’re severely allergic to soap or something, no-one has an excuse not washing their hands! If I can, you can too! Edit: added the cause of my last bout.

Best of fortunes to you, in getting back to a safer way of life. If you can come up with a buck and change, you can get a couple of bars of basic soap at Dollar General in their $1 general goods aisle, or Dollar Tree in the Health-and-Beauty aisle. If you have to resort to bar soap instead of liquid hand soap, you can pat the bar dry with TP or paper towel after using, and keep in old chips bag or such.

[@clray123]

Actually, I wouldn't be so worried, as overuse of soap, as now perpetrated by the media, WILL damage your skin and literally make it break (making it more susceptible to infection no doubt). So maybe instead of soap, we could use some common sense.

Thank you for this episode. As a physical scientist, I don't have a deep understanding of the very complex world of viruses and single cells. You have good analogies to help me "see" the viruses that your equipment can't quite resolve. And this video also explains well the action of soap. But the microcosmos is very complex. Although soap acts on many single cells, I struggle to understand how some cells are not destroyed by soap. Rather, some cells are able to use the chemical energy in soap as food. I learned a lot in your segment. Keep up the good work.

Important video. And thank you for publishing this for the folks who have had questions. But, like with so many things in science, soap can be more complicated. Harsh soaps, used too frequently, can strip away protective skin oils and damage skin tissue. For frequent handwashing (such as during the current world situation), MILD hand soap is best. It does the job you want it to, without giving you too much of a good thing. For clarity, doctors, nurses and others who work with vulnerable populations use harsh soaps to protect their *patients'* immune systems, and not their own. It's a sacrifice they knowingly make every day for the benefit of others. For the rest of us, it's not necessary.

5:40 it may actually be a good idea for the paramecium to help the viruses bind to it: that way there's much more pressure on the chlorella to stay inside. Sinister, but pretty effective

[@das250250]

I do love the videos as it handles me exploring this viewing at home and it is faster and easier than diy. Of course that may be an option in future but the point is evolution. I believe when talking about it we must ensure we correctly state what nature is and isnt doing correctly because the subtle difference confuses the teaching of evolution and how it actually works. When discussing the virus goals it may indicate that there is actually a goal when in reality there is not. The same too with the paramecium housing the green chlorella and what they get out of the relationship. The reality is they do not get anything out of it. The programming and forces of nature determine that the surviving chlorella are more abundant within the paramecium because they are protected by a wall from viruses. As a result they reproduce more successfully there. There is no intent. This is a subtle but extremely critical statement with evolution. Not stating intent and showing why the mechanisms exist is critical in passing on what evolution actually is. Some people may state this is an over critical statement but i see the confusion very often and it's consequences are significant in how we assemble our view of day to day life.
