Wow this is so cool! Not just observing how seasonal changes affect the inhabitants in an ecosystem but doing so over multiple years, and actually seeing changes from year to year. I hope James will keep doing this, I'm sure he will though :) I'm very curious to see how the cyanobacteria will fare over the coming years and how that affects this pond.

[@michaelmayhem350]

He won't. This channel is dead. They're gradually posting all the videos they made for this year but they won't be making more.

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

@@michaelmayhem350 This channel is ending, not James' microbial posts. He was posting his finds on his handle long before this channel existed, and will continue to do so afaik. He doesn't work for Complexly, he's collaborating with them.

[@bonniebonnie7149]

I like having her as a narrator. Could the channel continue with rotating hosts? It’s such valuable knowledge!

[@ellistonvallarino1836]

My lab is literally studying water microbiome seasonality! This is such a mesmerizing topic, the idea of dynamism in such a tiny world.

[@websurfer5772]

That's super cool. 🦠

[@morgans4977]

How cool! Always makes me happy to hear about people studying such things 💛

[@megamanx466]

Algal blooms are a good example that just because nature can consume it, doesn't mean that it should be fed as much as it wants! 😅

[@uncertaintytoworldpeace3650]

My moms house is a substantially worse example

[@davidblackwell614]

So glad you're still going, we need you microcosmos! Please do something on endomicrobial life?!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

Really interesting episode. James reminds me of the gentleman scientists of previous centuries who studied what interested them for decades and published their reports. Science owes much to them!

[@brianedwards7142]

Those yellow algae look like a fabric print pattern.

[@slumlord2625]

this channel is great

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

Microbes be crazy

[@RNG-999]

Thank you all for these videos and these amazing perspectives into worlds otherwise unknown!

[@falsificationism]

Attack of the killer microbees!!! 🐝🐝🐝

[@tejasite.]

Microscopic world is just❤❤❤

[@sciencechicken7669]

This one was very interesting

[@hugotavaresgomes9539]

MICROCOSMOOOOSSSSSS TIMEEEEE!!!

[@polar_fox24]

Amazing videos ❤

[@sebastianserra]

I don't know what's more beautiful, the world at the micro scale or the way you're able to portray it, and with such an amazing soundtrack ✨

[@cece_marie]

Great one! Never considered how the microbe ecosystem would change through the seasons 🦠🦠🦠

[@Malkovith2]

Now I wonder if I've ever passed James on a forest walk somewhere and never knew

[@iambilly]

I absolutely LOVED this episode!! thank you thank you thank you for sharing

[@giantsquid2]

Deboki is an awesome writer and narrator.

[@willemvandebeek]

This episode was really good, thank you for making and sharing this wonderful video.

[@amanwithatophat1439]

I will forever miss this channel this inspired me to persue my interest in microbiology. Thank you for the amazing content I wish you guys the very best

[@TheRysiu120]

I never knew Jams is living in Poland!

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

Yeah, Warsaw. He's been posting on social media about microbes long before this channel even existed.

[@samashbloom3230]

Trachelomonas look like lil kiwis

[@Ratciclefan]

Cool

[@mikevanderman2727]

Thank you Squarespace

[@ExploreTheMicrocosmos]

So glad to see you continue content as you close out your channel. I just started my Microscopy channel after years of wishing I had time! Im still super tiny but thank you guys for all your hard work and great content...inspirational :)

[@jeremysmith4620]

I wish I could turn into a cyst to just come back when things are better. I'd love to skip this miserably hot summer that hasn't even began to get really hot, yet. Sadly, I cannot just focus my do nothing vibes into cyst-hood, but I will keep trying nevertheless.

[@websurfer5772]

Good luck in your endeavors. 👍

[@lmv2s]

Wonder if looking in what makes diatoms resistant to winter could give us clues to create winter resistant crops.

[@nerdolo748]

Oh I’m happy to be reminded that James lives in Poland. I think it’s great for such video as we have such distinct seasons (despite not having true cold winters since I stopped being a kid..)

[@GIRGHGH]

This was very beautiful, i could definitely see myself falling asleep to it.

[@mdrdprtcl]

Yessssssssss

[@CoreyOgburn]

Yay Deboki's back!

[@Iksvomid]

Me : what a year, ay? Microbes :

[@dracow35]

Beautiful as always

[@wcdeich4]

Please don't stop making videos for th is channel.

[@ManzanitaStarwood]

This is a really good episode!!!

[@Smokeybluetheraccoon]

This is so amazing! It's not even something I thought about

[@RobertB168]

I've been following changes in a local pond, and it'd not just seasonal changes. I see changes from year to year and sometimes from week to week. There's a lot going on that I don't understand.

[@johannajosephine8874]

Amazing content! Could you do one about soil life through the seasons?

[@vlastaneuwirtova9833]

Amazing

[@stax6092]

Neat.

[@TCPLab]

So sad every new episode just reminds me of the end of this channel.

[@Yur_wey90]

I find it insulting that knowing that the average attention span of a human is around 10 min, and you made the video a little over 12min... Knowing Hank, he might be wanting to experiment on us and slowly start increasing the average attention span. 🤣

[@websurfer5772]

I had no idea that microbes would change so much depending on the season. 🦠 🌸🌻🍁❄🔬

[@Coopercup]

Why dont you sell the complete series on DVD or Blue Ray?

[@morgans4977]

Oh I would love this!

[@kidmohair8151]

the two temperate seasons of spring and fall are the other two temperate seasons locked in combat with each other, on this world that is changing every minute of every day.

[@pinkythreat]

Just bought yalls microscope. I love using it compared to to my 60$ one

[@mikevanderman2727]

Hi, what microscope does the Master of Microscope uses. Thanks

[@pattheplanter]

If you go to the main page for the channel and search for upgrade you will find several recent explanations of what James is using.

[@Dellvmnyam]

Spring is the transition from winter to summer, autumn is the transition from summer to winter, summer is the transition from spring to autumn, winter is the transition from autumn to spring and so on.

[@CODENAMEDERPY]

Somebody was inspired by Stefano Ianiro.

[@Dead.garden]

Hydra can we get a video please 🎉

[@sag1970]

Oh please obviously the seasons are going to look like the microbes because the microbes are living in that season!

[@dan8ball22]

hi

[@napoleonfeanor]

I wonder if there are also bigger cycles than annual ones

[@mroogabooga8763]

You do know there are ponds here in America right?

[@alainmivilledechene9024]

I have read somewhere that this channel might close soon. Does it mean that the videos will no longer be available to watch or that new videos will no longer be added? This body of work is of great value to human knowledge as a whole. Losing it would be a pity. It needs more visibility. Netflix has various series showing large spectacular animals but nothing about the most astonishing tiny world underlying all life on earth. Maybe they could be interested? Maybe BBC directly?

[@the_linguist_ll]

Old videos will stay, but new videos won’t come out (or will be rare)

[@user-jm9iw6mm9o]

Hey blue 💙 Babe, it's all beautiful today, Like when I was a child . Wish I could freeze in time like one of these microbes

[@solsoman102]

first

[@gabrielaviles2945]

I thought the show was finished

[@helmaschine1885]

Wasn't this channel shutting down??

[@morgans4977]

They are, they just let us know ahead of time and are finishing it their last few months

[@tannerblack5249]

How many Pollocks does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they're all microbes!

[@Slayer2029]

I love these videos, but she definitely doesn’t have the voice for them. An ASMR voice is needed for this type of content, she has a seminar voice.

[@pat8988]

I want to like this, but nearly every one of these scenes has multiple organisms with no way to tell which one is the one being described in the narration . It all just becomes a lot of pretty pictures. 🙁

[@vaf]

Can i have your microscope?

[@cfair009]

I have two sets of three word. 1: Here is Hank? 2: So not watching. 1 + 2 = thumbs down, sorry James. Where's Hank? I don't watch these when Hank is not at this post and I strongly belive that there are many more like me out there. Hopefully all that read this and agree, will not be afraid to have their voices heard by liking this post. It's not just for me and the others, IT'S ABOUT THE CHANNEL FOLKS.

[@pattheplanter]

If it is about the channel, why are you so obsessed with only watching Hank? Do you not like women? Hank is very busy and still convalescing.

[@mayaenglish5424]

I love Hank too, but Deboki is cool. Maybe try new experiences every now and then dude. Hank is only one person, he can't do everything. And it's nice to have other people invoved. (Also this isn't about the channel, it's very clearly about you).

[@Capt.Pikles]

I watch for the information; who is delivering that information is inconsequential. Honestly if it would save the channel, I would be fine with them handing it over to another microscopy team.

[@hugotavaresgomes9539]

LETS FK GOOOO BOYS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-rw6xr9kf8o]

Do these little moving things are just pure protein machines? Or they have consciousness in addition? No one knows.
