We're hosting another channel-wide livestream on Wednesday, July 28th at 4pm EST to celebrated our two year anniversary AND our one hundredth episode! And also just because we had such a fun time hanging out with you all during the last one. If you have a question you want us to answer, leave it in the chat!

As strange as the creatures of the microcosmos are, their lives still revolve around the same fundamentals that ours do. There’s food, reproduction, and death. Yes, even microbes, hardy as they can be, experience death. In some ways, they invented it.

This isn't just a project that tells people about their world, we hope it’s also an invitation into that world. And we want to help more people start their own journeys, so they can explore the unseen world that surrounds them.

This channel wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for one very key invention: the microscope. Everything we see, we see with the aid of light and lenses, expertly deployed by our master of microscopes, James. And if you’ve been on this journey from the beginning, or if you’ve ever gone back to revisit our earlier videos, you may have noticed that things have changed a bit around here.

This is a world where microbes are both residents and food, which means that occasionally, we’ll have to spend our time together watching organisms, whose bodies are fractions upon fractions upon fractions of a millimeter in size, turn into vicious predators.

If we had to nominate an ambassador to represent the microcosmos, we would have to go with the tardigrade. They’re weird, adorable, and hardy, – a combination of traits that has made them many people’s first entry point into the microcosmos.

Butts. A Whole Compilation Of Them.

We have a complicated relationship with worms. On the one hand, they’re gross. They end up in body parts and cause disease. On the other hand, they’re everywhere. You cannot escape worms, especially in the microcosmos.

There are a lot of creepy creatures in the world, and even the microcosmos is no place to escape them. And perhaps one of the most unsettling creatures to us here on Journey to the Microcosmos is the mite.

As we look towards the future, we are sad to announce that our journey will soon be coming to an end. This isn't goodbye just yet though, we will still be around through the remainder of 2024 sharing more stories from the world of the microcosmos! Thank you all so much for coming on this journey with us.
